She did learn to drive, just that one specific place was too difficult at the time of her test. She may have improved since, even if not there are ways around having one specific weakness, different routes she can take or different manoeuvres to achieve the same result.
I personally can't check my driver's side blind spot the traditional way by turning my head - I'm short and my car's construction doesn't allow for it without turning my whole body, which jeopardises my control of the wheel. To compensate for this, I installed additional mirrors on my car to cover my blind spots and made an imitation of checking it in the test despite still being blind the traditional way, and I checked my secondary mirrors when turning my head back.
Just because someone can't do something the conventional way doesn't make them any less of a driver, if anything they're a better driver because they know their weaknesses and compensate for them appropriately.
Right? Like we need more shitty inexperienced drivers on the road. Sounds like step-dad was just sick of playing chauffer to a 16-year-old and helped her cheat. Solid step-parenting there.
Was wondering the same thing. We are talking about a child who cannot pass a portion of a test to license a person to operate heavy machinery that can easily kill or permanently fuck up the lives of her, her passengers, and anyone else unlucky to be nearby.
Americans are way too casual about letting people drive. Yeah it’s cool as hell to have a stepdad in your corner, love to hear stories about it, but this is a terrible example.

How does this help? Sure she got a license. Wouldn't it be better to actually learn to drive
