Most states have a written, eye and live drive test. Frankly, I find the
whole thing quite pathetic as far as measuring true driving skill, but I
guess the basics are important :)

Was on vacation the us back in May 01, drove from Raleigh to Baltimore
to Daytone to Raleigh, and while I enjoyed my stay immensly, the way you
guys drive are below just about anything I've seen over here, and I'm
not kidding either
The Highway Patrol on the other hand are quite friendly towards tourists
who interpret speed limits to their own liking :-)

Agreed on the manhood-compensating decorations (I would add:
"Make sure you buy the biggest most-gas-guzzling SUV, and stick
the thing up on those huge oversize truck tires"), but I notice that
my Honda tends to get rather loose above 75 MPH (it has a rather
substantial front-air dam-factory issue). In my next car I may very
well spring for a rear spoiler to keep her glued when going at
higher speeds...

Of course, I don't live near any really big cities, so there's less traffic,
and less Gatsos. But Jack Straw (Foreign Secretary) was stopped 20-odd miles
away for doing 103mph. Did he pay a fine? Oh no, he just said that there was
a national emergency...
