It's a good idea, except for the part where it's unconstitutional.

ETA: I wrote that after reading the ad, before reading the bill. I should have known better. The ad makes it look like there will be a national law establishing graduated driver's licensing, which is not the case at all. The bill is to provide grants to states with GDL laws.

It's not unconstitutional at all. Driving is not a constitutionally protected right.



Mass saw a decrease in teen deaths when stricter junior operater license laws were enacted what....10 years ago? Before that our laws were pretty lax (I remember them!) and the death rate was higher.

:D Very to-the-point. The ad is extremely deceptive.

The Constitution set up very strict limitations on the scope of powers of the federal government. According to that scope of limitations, this would be a states' rights issue, not a federal issue. But heck, no one really cares about that any more.
