In the US, teenagers need to log tens/hundreds of hours driving under their parents’s supervision (on a learner’s permit) between the instructor driving sessions and the official road test. Do you really go straight from driving school to road test with no learner’s permit phase?

There is no US rule and the state rules vary considerably, many states have no logged practice hours requirement, and it doesn't doesn't seem like any are in hundreds of hours; I think 65 is the maximum and most with a requirement are 50 or less.


You need to log the hours in the US, really?

In Canada I just did 4 hours with an instructor and then went for the test and bought a car. Most people drive around with their parents for 8 months on a permit but you don't have to log anything or prove that you did it, you're just not allowed to drive by yourself.
