Question

Letters: Driver's licenses and safety
September 17, 2013
Re "State's license bill is driving debate," Sept. 14
I agree with Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood: If someone is in the country illegally, it
makes no sense to give him the legal ability to drive.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck states that AB 60, the bill in California that would
allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, represents "a big step forward in making
our roads safer," and that such licensing would reduce the number of escapes after
accidents because insured illegal immigrants would have less fear of being caught for driving
without having insurance.
Get real, Chief Beck. A license is no guarantee of concomitant insurance. Plus, we need
fewer, not more, people on our roads.

Sheriff Youngblood of Kern County does not understand the law he is sworn to enforce. He
"challenged the idea that giving undocumented immigrants driver's licenses would eliminate
insurance issues in hit-and-run or other collisions."
First, driver's licenses are not given. Those seeking to obtain one have to apply, pay fees
and pass a test.
Second, for a driver who is insured for damage by an uninsured motorist, the insurance
company asks for the name, address and license number of the person at fault in an
accident. This happened to my wife and me twice in the last 10 years, and both times my
insurance company didn't pay damages, citing the lack of a license number. The sheriff
should ask LAPD Chief Beck what he thinks.

Just because you give a license to someone does not guarantee that they will operate a
vehicle safely or stick around after a hit-and-run accident. There are lots of licensed drivers
who should not have a license and who escape the scene of an accident.
