"solves nothing"? So are you saying that because some people are terrible drivers then the driving test is a waste? It sounds like you think all drivers must be perfect for testing to prove itself. The goal would be to reduce the number of incompetent drivers/boaters, not bring it to zero.

My sense of the current test is that it forced me to learn certain important safety things, so I'm glad we do it.
