There is a reason for that. At least in Germany that I know of.

In Germany, at least when I lived there 50 years ago, a German had to have more hours of instruction to get a drivers license than an American does for a pilots license. Much of the training has to do with FOCUS. You won’t see a child in the front seat or a German drinking coffee, soda or ANYTHING while driving. The focus is the reason that the Germans have fewer accidents per mile traveled than any country in the world.
