My understanding in the US is that in many states the process to get a driving license is barely more than
"Can you show me your car"
"Yes, it's that one"
"OK, here's your license"
"Can you show me your car"
"Yes, it's that one"
"OK, here's your license"
>You must complete an approved driver education course with a certified private or public driver training school using one of the following methods. Approved classes are also offered online. You must also complete each item in the method you choose.
Method 1 30 hours of classroom instruction 6 hours behind the wheel training at the certified school 40 hours of supervised driving with a parent or guardian (6 hours of the 40 hours must be at night)
Method 2 30 hours of classroom instruction at the certified school 40 hours parent-taught behind-the-wheel training. Parent/Teen Driving Guide (includes 40 hours of supervised driving with parent or guardian)
Method 3 30 hours of online instruction with a certified virtual program 6 hours behind the wheel training at a certified school 40 hours of supervised driving with a parent or guardian (6 hours of the 40 hours must be at night)
Method 4 30 hours of online instruction with a certified virtual program 40 hours of parent-taught behind-the-wheel training.
After you do the above you need to take a driving test. You need to be able to parallel park, reverse park, and do a variety of things while driving around.
Not sure where European readers could be located, but snow driving is not taught in my state. We get snow every couple years at most and it rarely sticks to roads.
A few friends from remote countryside had relatively easy driving tests, but the easiest-sounding test was my friend from Mumbai (he'd always refer to it as "Bombay" and I never figured out if that was his preference or if he was trying to accommodate us). He said his driving test boiled down to driving round a block and not hitting anything or doing something particularly stupid.
To be honest I'd struggle to do that in most Indian cities, and I've got 25 years experience of not hitting anything in the UK.
CA was pretty tough, they even fail you for driving too slow.
(Not sure how accurate that is, as with all things on the internet.)
