I disagree with your unhinged and intolerant screed against foreigners and people from out of state.

There is an assumption under the law that if you hold a valid driver's license from another jurisdiction, you may exchange it for a MD driver's license. The people who cause car accidents are statistically young adults and the elderly - regardless of where they come from. Which means the majority of accidents on River Rd will be caused by Montgomery County drivers.

- European whose driving test in Paris was much harder than the incredibly easy one given here in MD. MOST wealthy countries have harder driving tests than the ones given in the USA, actually.

Don't care.

Do care that drivers here know right of way rules, merging rules, school bus stop rules, passing rules, signage meaning, ambulance/ police siren rules, etc. in USA.

Again, only Maryland does not require a refresher or proof of at least road rules knowledge. 
Look at its accident rate, hit rate, ticketing rate, insurance rate. High, high, high, high. Breaks the record for the country in many metrics. So many accidents they don't keep car accident stats, but look around, it's not (nationally?) young adults and the elderly. Most teens here don't get their license on time, ie age 16.

Most states, you'd sit for a short test after your vision test. Yes the test can be in any of 20+ languages. [/quote]

This is incorrect. I received a DC license when I moved here and submitted my other state DL. No written or road test. From other jurisdictions in the US I don’t know why you feel that would necessary. Except perhaps for the legality of right turns on red, and directonal street parking the rules are the same.[/quote]
