Most of those you didn't include in your opening statement DO have to take lessons and THEN a driving test.
The issue to me is not those idiots (no matter their nationality or driving habits and/or ethics) but enforcement.
There is an almost total reliance on cameras here - whereas you and I in North America, or Europe would slow down to avoid a speeding citation when we see a police car, here, one can regularly overtake any police vehicle at 20 - 50% over the speed limit with impunity.
Here too, you can "buy" someone to "admit" they were the one driving your vehicle when it was caught jumping a light or speeding. Not so in my country. The fine follows the car owner not least because it is sometimes impossible to determine who the driver was - so the vehicle owner takes the hit.
Enforcement equally and universally is the key. I'm not holding my breathe.
