Exactly what I have been thinking, it is a world problem. Why not make world standards? Everyone's safety should be held at the same level of value, so why not the tests. But alot of this would rely on people's driving, I know more wreckless and careless drivers than safe and cautious drivers. Everyone is in such a big hurry, FOR WHAT? I can time myself across town @ 35 or 45 and would only save a couple minutes. If you are that busy that a couple minutes will destroy your day, then you have issues you need to fix.
