My state may have tried taken some steps in that direction but it still did not work. We had a DOT cop that we call weight and standards. These are the same guys that run the scales. They were given extra power to where they can write a ticket to anyone for any violation much like a trooper. Problem is they use the power to write speeding tickets to trucks while the cars fly by. We also took a section of our troopers and made them DOT cops but they consentrate on truck inspections only.

Our drivers education system in the states is nul and void or of no use.
