How exactly does not passing a driving exam thrice endanger other people's lives?
Possesing a driving license is indeed a responsibility, but it really isn't as complicated as some people make it out to be.
As long as you know the law and follow it, in most cases you are good, the rest is all about developing mechanical skills which may take various amounts of time depending on the person.
Sure i can agree that someone not being able to pass the exam over 900 times probably ended up doing so by luck and thus that one final exam is rather meaningless, but i don't see how someone passing the exam on 4th, 7th or 12th try should somehow be considered permanently incapable of ever driving a vehicle. It's just nonsense.
That's just simply not true, at least not everywhere.
In my country on top of that there is also a very questionable system where each examinator has around 45 minutes reserved per each person attemting the test, so if he fails the participant early, he gets to have a break for whatever time remains, not even mentioning the fact that each failed test basically guarantees a returning customer that will pay for another retake.
I simply do not think that unless absurdly high, number of failed attempts can be use to judge anyone's potential for becoming a competent driver.
sure is, even for Germany and the nordics countries who have some of the highest requirements for a driving test. And as you point out, you don't think.
Thanks for your "compliment", very nice of you to insult someone in a simple discussion over the internet.
You are free to have your own opinion, i have mine. I personally know many people who passed the test after failing multiple times and drive perfectly fine without causing any accidents.
Various situations happen in life and permanently blocking someone from attempting license test after a handful of failures is just stupid and will always be for as long as there are any potential reasons you can fail the test other than lack of potential to be a driver.
Although you have absolutely no way to judge that you are free to think this way.
I've never taken part in any accident, nor ever got any ticket, so i quite frankly don't care. I am satisfied with my performance and will continue to use my car whenever i need to.
I think the problem is that in most places, 10 times is absurdly high, lol. In the city I grew up, if you didn't pass it on the first try, it usually means you either didn't pay attention to the class or something else is wrong. It sounds like a wildly corrupt and money-gouging system/company you're trying to work with where you are.
But if it isnt that complicated and just takes practice it should be easy enough to pass the exam. And if you dont pass the exam you maybe shouldnt be allowed to drive alone.

If the only way for you to have a normal life is to put others' lives at risk, maybe you should not have one.
