::I've heard about the law for a graduated license and personally i think it's unfair. I just now started drivers education and i don't plan on keeping my permit until i'm 18. It's not the fact that I want to drive, but also that the bus I ride on has 68 people on it not to mention that we've got people sitting on top of each other and people standing in the isles. I come home everyday with a migraine headache and I'm only 15 and shouldn't be going through migraines everday. I totally disagree with this new "GRADUATED LICENSE THING." It's just not fair. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say so due to the fact that we've waited so long to get our license and now we might not be able to do so . I say that this whole thing be ignored, the new graduated license thing.
: : : : I heard of a new law of the driving age to be set at 18! Does anyone know of when this law will take effect?
: : and totally disagree with it. I heard that anyone who turns 16 after Jan.1 1999 will have to have their learners
: : for at least 6 months before they can get their actual license. To stereo-type a teenager like that as a careless,
: : thoughtless risk taker is ridiculous. For the law to tell us that we have to wait to get what we've
: : wanted and waited for, for a long time; oohh all I can
: : say is they have guts.
: We're still looking for the law that requires private users of motor cars to get a Driver's license in order to use that car. This search is being conducted in California. We've exhausted library research and direct questions at the DMV. Now we're working under the CPRA (Calif. Public Records Act), same as Federal FOIA. So far, no response, an the time is ticking down to T:-0. Tick-tock... Boom! We already know the law doesn't exist, and we know that the Cal.Regs. don't qualify most people to even lawfully apply unless they are from the corporate U.S. or are foreign born immigrants.
: Oh well..... guess we're in for a long siege and campaign. We've got municipalities that summarily steal cars from ALL unlicensed "Operators" of "Motor Vehicles" on the basis of some nubulous Zero Tolerance 'Policy'.
