A High School Diploma for A License, Yay or Nay?
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have heard that you of the state legislature are suggesting a bill that will require citizens to have a high school diploma before they can be able to get a driver's license. There are multiple things to take into account before passing this bill. Although there are good and bad things about this bill, the negatives far exceed the positives. Because of this, the passing of this bill is a bad idea.
The first issue to consider about this bill is how it would affect the way students are able to obtain jobs. This may not be a large impact on students who live in cities where public transportation is readily available, but it causes multiple problems with students who live in small towns or out in the country. To start, the lack of public transportation or a legal license to allow students to get to their place of work will make them unable to arrive at work on time or at all. The inability to get to their workplace on time make a student seem unreliable. This can also cause these students to be fired or keep them from maintaining a job. Most businesses allow you to be late or absent to work unexcused only twice before you are put on probation and three times before firing you. This becomes a major issue with students because the chances of them missing work due to the lack of transportation increases, especially if they are unable to acquire a license. The addition of this bill will create a impact on our student work force.
The second issue to think about before passing this bill is the change in the entire system of driver training requirements and the special licenses that concern young adults. For starters, if the time and requirements for earning your license are changed, there may also be changes on when you are able to obtain your permit. Most students are able to take driver's education courses at the age of fifteen to be able to earn their license. Although, if there is such a large gap in when you are able to obtain your
