A potential explanation is that riders in some states are fully licensed once they finish training. This might shorten the permit period so that riders end up with full licenses earlier than if training weren't mandated......
Or a better explaination would be that states that require training courses are nanny states and the kids can't ride worth shit anyway regardless of training.
