By this way of thinking, (which is wrong) we'd have a bunch of guys driving around in 80,000# vehicles with no assurances whatsoever, that the driver had a clue what he was doing because he was never actually examined! Anyone can pass a written test, but the real world is a much different place than a sheet of paper or a omputer screen.

Georgia's currently broken non-commercial Class A/B licenses don't cover RVs like motor coaches. They're driven with a Class C license. No difference between a family car and a 40,000 GVW motorcoach. In fact, I had to twist the arms of the DMVS to get my Non-commercial Class A license so I could reasonably drive my M813.
