That sucks. I don't know if it is still taught in schools here or not. If you're willing to pay 3k for your child to learn to drive in inclement weather just pay for them to take a professional driver's course and let them take whatever is cheapest for the laws. Here ya go. https://winterdrive.com/classes/safety-classes/

Which means the schools or DMVs will need a snow covered plot of land somewhere pretty much daily which also means why will own said land.

I don't know what number you're picturing but I'm thinking easily millions per year per state for states that aren't considered "northern". It might be easy to use but we're talking about a football field's worth of snow probably twice a month..? Maybe once a week? You can only cram so many people onto the course at a time and only so many parking lots that are even available to rent and especially if you're talking about owning that much property. My driver's ed course was a semester in high school with a once a week driving session but I also had my permit at the time so I was driving with my parents. I know driving is a privilege and not everybody deserves it but 2-3k is too much for a lot of families or kids, especially when the kids needs a license to get a job to pay for the stuff. You're basically saying the parents should fork over 2-3k. This just does not seem feasible.

Yes, it's too easy but the inclement weather testing or practice sounds VERY expensive. It would be nice and great but I can't see it being feasible.

That's actually a really good point... I'm now extremely curious how a driver-less car could and would handle inclement weather. I always just think of dry weather for autonomous vehicles but snow, ice, and heavy rain has to be an insane curve ball for the automakers.

That. Sounds. Terrible. Actually, the day I got in a wreck in my Escape two years ago(12/23/16) we got a lot of freezing rain and ice and thankfully I didn't go to work(because of the accident) because the storm hit mid afternoon through rush hour traffic and a few people I work with told me it took them 4-5 hours to get home and there were accidents EVERYWHERE. I don't mind snow but ice is just plain scary. I overheard somebody at work one day who said she WILL NOT drive in snow. She hates driving and snow terrifies her. She will find a ride or call in. That just blows my mind. I agree but it would be insanely expensive to try and properly prepare for snow or wet conditions on testing or training. I don't even know what they would do for snow but for rain they'd need a wet track like what Tire Rack has for a controlled environment.

I wish I had that kind of option... I love breakfast for dinner! ...or any other meal... That would enrage me. If you're that uncomfortable driving in the snow you could have at least pulled into ANY driveway or parking lot.

We got about 5 inches last night/this morning as well. I left an hour earlier than normal and luckily the roads were taken care of and because it was so early there weren't many people on the roads and it only took me about 10 minutes longer than normal just driving a little slower. ..Got to work 45 minutes early.. ??♂️

I genuinely don't think you will within the next 10 years, to have something as big as you claim to need.
