Eh, most of our driving tests don't involve simply "the ability to breathe" as the main criteria

Come to Germany then. A license costs about 3-4000€ and involves a few theory classes, a theory test, somewhere around 20 hours of driving lessons with an instructor, and a practical test.

Our main danger here are currently people who got their license before the Vietnam war and refuse to give up driving.

For 3,000 €, you can learn Spanish and pass your test there and still save 500 €. Nevertheless, I found German drivers to be among the best in the world, in terms of politeness maybe the training is worth the extra 3,000 €

I mean, you're operating a deadly weapon, you better be trained to use it.
