In a little known Vote this week the US Senate voted 58 – 32 to eliminate protections for drivers, crossing into other states. Amazingly, the US Senate decided that with over 25,000 Vehicle Deaths on the US Highways every year, they would no longer force one state to accept the drivers license of another state, you could now get taken to jail for driving your car to Nevada, EVEN IF YOU DID NOTHING WRONG! It was decided that each State must contact other states and decide whose drivers license they would like to accept, and whose they won’t.
The “reasoning” Behind this is every state has different criteria for issuance of a license, and for keeping and retesting for that license. In some states you may drive as young as 14, and in some you must be 17, or 18. The thought that I will somehow be safer here in Orange County, because some 14 year old in Idaho, “may” drive down here and get into a wreck is just plain stupid.
Please, this must be stopped! Call our senators, and congressmen, and tell them to ”Vote for Nationwide Reciprocity” and lets make sure that all law abiding drives can go from state to state without being thrown in Jail, even if they didn’t break the law!
What, you expect logic and reason from the US Senate? I followed the vote closely and can’t explain why theese idiots vote the way they do. It can only be their extreme prejudice that “drives” them to be so illogical. If they do vote in reciprocity you can bet they will mandate a national ID card to go with it, one that also contains an RFID chip in it.
Od, are u endorsing socialism? The states have rights! U are a centralizing fascist socialist in disguise! Get ye to your storefront snake handling church to hear the Truth that Jesus was a gill-netter!
critic….I think you need to get back on your meds
hey Mark!
Do you happen to have a link to this story?
Mark, I believe you’re talking about the federal “PASS ID” bill replacing national standards for the “REAL ID” drivers license. This doesn’t at all effect the ability of drivers from one state to drive in other states. A number of conservative legislators are concerned that the “PASS ID” will make it significantly easier for terrorists, or illgal aliens to get false identifications.
