If the road tests do nothing for promoting safety, why not abolish them completely?

It's a valid question. Honestly, getting rid of the test and instead authorizing driving schools to approve people as ready to graduate would likely be a fair better solution. The driving instructors spend much more time with students and thus are far better situated to judge if they are ready.
