That's why Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp has handed down an executive order temporarily waiving the driving test as a requirement for getting a license, opening the door for potentially irresponsible teen drivers act wildly on the road.

If Covid doesn't kill us all, then teen drivers who are licensed without road tests will be more likely to do so.

(1) Covid will NOT kill you.
(2) teenage drivers statistically are not necessarily the most dangerous drivers.

Only in America. Slackers. Cancel the tests until the fall or when things can be safer. A license gives you the right to operate a vehicle on public roads. There should be no change to the testing.
