Replying to So driving is a privilege?

So I came back last night from spring break and my roommate, who had been here all break, tells me he got his license. He is from China and was very excited to be driving a car. He then told me he had never "turned an engine" before the test. When I asked him how driving had been going he says he is "fucking crazy" and that its really scary. He has already hit a parking meter and put a considerable dent in his car and bent the meter back a little. He has gotten a $100 ticket for reckless driving or something and I am completely terrified to be on the road with this kid. License test should be a lot stricter if this kid can never actually drive a car, pass the test, and still drive like a complete moron.
