That gets you a level 1 licence, which means no driving on freeways, no driving at night, no passengers (unless a fully licensed driver is in the vehicle) and if you are pulled over with ANY alcohol/drugs, you need to wait 3 years and then start all over. After you log another 2000 hours, you can take the test for a level 2 licence, and after another 4000 hours, you can take the test for a full licence. The test for a full licence requires driving under difficult conditions in a simulator, which throws every possible danger at you, including the final hazard, 25mm of freezing rain with a 2cm layer of snow on top.

Every 5 years in order to renew your licence you should need to pass a written test, every 15 years you need to pass that simulator test for a full license as well. If you get caught drunk driving, kiss your licence goodbye, you need to wait 5 years and then can start all over at the beginning, with the classroom training.
Or you can invest half that time to become a commercial pilot and take a taxi to work.
