Digging DeeperĮarly in the automobile era a prospective driver could expect to be trained in the fine art of driving by the car salesperson, or perhaps a family member or friend if that other person had the experience. When Britain started requiring a driving test that needed to be passed to get a driver’s license the Us had only 39 of the 48 states requiring such an exam. The UK, however, was way behind the trend to require a driver’s test, as France had instituted the dreaded procedure way back in 1899! The United States lagged behind their European brethren in licensing drivers, although by 1918 all 48 states required license plates on motor vehicles. On March 26, 1934, the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland instituted their first ever practical examination of automobile drivers’ competence in order to be issued a driver’s license.
