They didn't even pretend to enforce the license requirement when it was in
effect, so I have to agree that it had zero impact. Only people who cared
enough to get one (and hence probably pretty responsible) had one.

Again, how does a license requirement prevent idiots? Especially one that
does not require passing a minimal test of regulations? You drive, don't
you? There is a minimal test of driving skills to obtain a drivers license
that costs money. The road is full of idiots.
