After getting a perfect score on a practice test on the material we've covered so far in driver's ed, I am apparently allowed to go to the DMV and get my learner's permit. This alarmed me somewhat. Basically, they gave me two pieces of formal paperwork, told me things to write on them, and said I could take them to the DMV whenever I wanted to take the real test for a LP.
I do not believe this should be possible. I have absolutely no documented behind-the-wheel training, and suddenly I can take a simple test that will allow me to actually operate cars? Even if I somehow fail (which is unlikely given my experience with farm equipment), I've been given the opportunity to handle a vehicle in a test - which assumes I know things - without ever studying. A driver's license is such an important thing; more (read: any) experience and training should be required.
