The sad state of driver training and knowledge is a constant source of frustration and dismay for many safe streets advocates. It seems like the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will give a license to just about anyone, and it’s become so easy to pass the tests that they don’t really provide any type of substantive education — or at least it appears that way judging from all the terrible driving we see every day. I can’t remember the last time I had good news to share on this front, so I’m excited to relay what feels like a little nugget of progress.
