(Ironically, there are STILL a decent number of people here who manage to fail the driving tests...) Americans suck at driving, basically.
Agreed, If I remember right, the Michigan test you can loose 6 points. So if you can park a car well, but can't drive, you can pass fine. Or if you can't park and don't get caught doing too many things wrong, you pass. I think the parking section is like 7 points if you fail everything and the road test is only when you make mistakes, speeding etc.
