--Groucho Marx--

The "driving tests" in the US are notoriously cursory.  Waiting in line at
the DMV is the hard part.  If you know what state you'll be living in, do a
search in google for the Department of Motor Vehicles or Bureau of Motor
Vehicles for that state.  At your state's DMV/BMV website, you should have
no trouble finding an explication of the testing protocol specific to that
state along with any important 'rules of the road'.

They are pretty easygoing on drivers tests over here in my experience. I've heard though that they are a lot more demanding of
you during the actual driving part of the test in bigger cities than in smaller towns/rural areas. I don't know of any
'programs' as such. There are driving schools of course, though I have no idea how much they cost. If you have a friend/relative
who can teach you then thats all you should need IMO.

Trust me...you'll have no problems passing a driving test here. I am
in Massachusetts (home of the aggressive drivers) and the tests here
are usually 10-15 minutes and involve getting out of the Registry of
Motor Vehicles parking lot, a left and a right turn, a stop sign and
getting back to the RMV lot.

The REAL test starts once you get a license and start to mix it up on
the open roads. This is when the real learning starts and as you move
about the country by car, you learn more and more about
driving....it's educational!

Ken, you must be able to juggle a cell phone, coffee cup, cuss out the driver next to you and insert a CD, all at the same time.
Failing that, just play like you're the only car on the road...

  Mid town Madness...if you can't clear the gap between two buildings
you'll never get your license here.
  I will however, give you some tips to practice.

1       Never signal a turn...or rather, only signal AFTER you have begun to
spin the wheel.
2       Never drive without being distracted.  Instructors will be impressed
by your ability to manage driving whilst chomping on a Big Mac and sucking
down a giant Slurpee all while talking on a cell phone cradled between your
sholder and your ear.
3.    When trains are honking their horns at a signal crossing, that is
their way of challenging you to a race.
4.    In America, we only turn left.  Yes it's true.  If you turn right
then you risk running into a Shopping CART.
5.    You MUST have a FAST AND FURIOUS oversized Aluminum(not aL LOO min EE
UM  uhloomanum) Wing mounted on the rear deck.  
6.    If you find sitting behind a steering wheel on the left side of the
car to be too difficult, then steal a postal truck, they are right side
drivers.

Watch the IRL, and don't do what they do.

You weren't expecting any serious answers, were you? <G>

Judging from what I've seen on the roads here, any half-wit can get a
driver's license.
