I live in Florida, 17 miles from Georgia--and there are plenty of people who work here and are Georgia residents. Since any state's driver's license lets you drive in any other states, would this open up the entire country to Georgia residents who don't know how to drive, yet would be legally allowed to?
Florida just about does that: the last time I took any sort of written or in-car driving test was in 1997, I haven't been re-tested since despite renewing my license twice, and the in-car "test" was one time around a small building. In other words, the state doesn't actually know if I know how to drive or not.
