Quite. Quite so...:)

Furthermore, the toughness of the British driving test is a common gripe for American expats in the UK.

Damn I hope it's harder than here, ours are a joke.

When I moved form MA to PA, they asked three questions, I got two wrong, they gave me a license.
In fairness to the examiner, all three were how close can you park to something, and the two I got wrong I gave distances greater then the law allows, but still three questions and an eye test ain't much.

The motorcycle test was a little tougher.

UT, we need a "busting with pride" emoticon. ;)

Are you sure it isn't, Yes I started it, but I'm sorry, I won't do it again.

I really wish the US would go to a test like the UK has, esp for motorcycles. If not than we need to insist that all licenses are issued only after a Motorcycle safety course.
