Every state issues driver's licenses to their citizens following specific tests are passed and requirements are met. All states now call for that an individual applying for a driver's license need to present proof of liability insurance, and all states call for proof of proficiency in an applicant's understanding of state and federal highway laws as well as the successful completion of a demonstration of driving skill to an officer of the state, city, or county where they live.
The requirements for obtaining a valid driver's license vary from state to state on some points. As an example, in California, the minimum age for acquiring a driver's license is 16 years old; but in Pennsylvania, it's 16?. The minimum age for getting a learner's permit also varies from state to state. Some states need a minimum amount of supervised driving, along with other states don't.
Idaho was amongst the very first states to start issuing driver's licenses, doing so beginning in 1913. An fascinating component of the law endorsing driver's licenses reads, "A rate of speed in excess of 30 MPH for over one-fourth of a mile shall be presumed evidence of driving at a rate of speed which is deemed not careful or prudent." Yes, driving laws have evolved together with the automobile.
Nowadays, there's a fantastic deal of debate about issuing driver's licenses to illegal aliens. You'll find those who believe that issuing driver's licenses to illegal aliens will make our highways safer, and people who are opposed to the concept point out that all of the 9/11 terrorists were in possession of either driver's licenses or state identification cards and were the documents that enabled them to carry out the terrorist acts. The debate rages on, with no end in sight at the moment.
