Over 3 million crashes each year.<br><br>Drivers can be distracted by passengers, phones, eating, grooming, etc. Drivers have less time to react than pilots do. If distracted, may have no time to react to danger, and potentially no time left to live.<br><br>Less than 50% of high schools offer driver's ed, even few offer Behind the Wheel training. In some states, no formal training is required to take a license test in under 18 years old. No professional training is required for non-commercial licensing in nearly all states if over 18 years old.<br><br>Many state's license testing are designed to allow nearly anyone to pass.
