Funny thing I've been driving for 30+ years, and have never had a formal driving test:
Permit at 15: No tests, only restriction was to have a licensed passenger in-vehicle
License at 16: Had driver's ed in school, state's driving test waved, and license transferred to other states without any new driving test
Motorcycle license: Took a safety course while in the military, state added endorsement without any test, which also transferred out-of-state
Heavy vehicles: Trained on military 5-ton/deuce+0.5/Frontloaders/HMMWVs - all kinds of heavy equipment - no formal tests, only unit sign-off (even on civilian roads)
The kicker: I now live in a US state where a driver license is good with no re-testing till age 64
Gonna suck when I actually do have to take a test. Hopefully there will be sane infra to go completely driverless by the time I get that old.
