A driving test isn’t necessarily a test of skill, it’s a test of checking boxes that gets thrown out the window for many people as they continue driving. You can be a complete moron while driving but still parallel park and use a turn signal properly for a test. If you want to weed out more bad drivers you need harder testing and greater enforcement, just getting a retest of the same shitty test isn’t gonna work. Source: me. I had an incredibly stubborn aged parent who absolutely should not have had a license for multiple reasons but continued to drive. They were re-tested a couple of times because of incidents and still passed. It took letters from family and a physician to have the RMV suspend their license, and even then they didn’t want to.

it’s still better than nothing, and it can be funded entirely with vehicle licensing fees

I totally agree with you, but I also feel like the level of testing and enforcement necessary crosses the line of what most people will tolerate. You’ll get people screeching about the government making it too hard and too oppressive to drive (which honestly, good).
Anyways, let’s rip out all the highways and replace them with rail lines already, yeah?
