Should high-school dropouts be banned from getting their driver's license?

[mondaynightraw]

Passing your high school courses and passing your driver's license test are two very different things. Though they're independent of each other now, lawmakers in some states are trying to tie the two together. Certain states are examining legislation that would bar high school drop-outs from getting a driver's license.

States including Georgia, Massachusetts, Texas, New York and Michigan, are in favor of these anti-drop measures. The idea behind the proposed laws is that kids would be more likely to stay in school if the privilege of driving an automobile were at stake. Other states, like California, Illinois, Florida and Ohio don't see things the same way. Those against the laws argue that parents are ultimately the ones who should be in charge of revoking driving privileges, not the state.

What say you? Should the drop-outs be banned from driving, or is this a case of the government crossing the line?

Yeah, just what the country needs. More government intrusion in our lives.

A person drops out of school, ok let's limit their mobility and add another reason

to the list of why they can't get a job.

I agree with it, try to deal with uneducated people on a regular basis, it's frustrating and time consuming. South Carolina has one of the highest drop out rates in the country, maybe an incentive like this would persuade people to finish school...
