What’s the frequency for forklift/crane certificates or similar? Driving a car should be regulated similarly (with the proviso that it is accepted that many blameless people will be found unfit to drive, and society should accommodate them by means other than lowering safety standards).
Forklift certs last for 3 years, but the test isn't much. You take a quiz (can be all done online), and then someone at your workplace who is a certified instructor gives you some pointers.
I wouldn't base car licensing around that. It's almost nothing.
My work just had the warehouse driver show me the controls and move a couple of pallets. Now i'm forklift certified.
Still more than some of the covid era driver exams had... (Cousin in a small town spent less than 15 mins with the proctor)
I know a couple of people who just had to pass a written test (basic multiple choices test on sign recognition and road laws) and no behind the wheel test. Heck my wife's best friend lived somewhere where one person out of every class could get their license without any behind the wheel test. They'd draw names out of a hat and the lucky individual just had to pass the written test
With how dangerous cars are, retesting and recertification should be required with every renewal. An hour or two of class time to cover "here's what's new this decade" plus a 20 minute behind the wheel test would filter a lot of people who really shouldn't be driving away from their licenses
On the other hand, there's a ton of people who drive without a valid license regularly due to barriers to getting one and infrastructure that prevents any alternative method of getting around, so this would probably just exacerbate this issue
