I hope the Driver Card ballot measure passes, because I want to know that the drivers on the road with me know what they are doing, that they understand enough English to read signs, and obey the basic rules of the road.
The Driver Card for “illegals” should have in large bold print across the top: NOT VALID FOR IDENTIFICATION.
Whatever name that person goes by, and photo to match, should only assure us that the person has passed both the written and driving tests, and is competent to drive. If he/she disobeys, they should be incarcerated for double the time it would take them to earn whatever the fine is if they were working their regular jobs.
I don’t think that licensing them will have a huge impact on our job market. They are already here, driving illegally. Let’s just try to make them and us safer.
