I agree. Calling to federalize driver's licenses? What was the last thing the federal government did well? The Hoover Dam is considered a a bright success story for the feds, and even then something like 15 guys died doing it. That's what the feds call a win!
All because NY laws are stupid? It's not any other state's fault that NY can't charge an unlicensed driver with vehicular manslaughter after killing a kid. NY needs to fix it's law, not force the rest of us to some inane federal scheme because NY can't get it's poop in gear.
And if there were federal driver's licenses, this guy still would have have driven a truck on a suspended one. And still would have killed the same kid.
That's assuming his licensed was even suspended in the first place under a federal system that was tracking 300,000,000 licensed drivers and trying to keep that straight.
