Hardship licenses shrink in number due to state law By Tom Hamiter Reporter Although drivers must still be at least 15 to qualify for a minor’s re stricted driver’s license in Texas, state legislation has succeeded in re ducing the number of MRDL hold ers. The MRDL is commonly called the hardship license. It can be ob tained by 15-year-olds — without any driver education — who claim, for example, that they have to drive to work or transport sick family members to the doctor. Normally, one must be at least 16 years old and pass a driver education course or be 18 years old to receive a license. Before state legislation was passed in 1983 that tightened qualifications for obtaining MRDLs, about 71,000 teen-agers received hardship li censes a year, says Dr. Maurice Den nis, coordinator of the safety educa tion program at Texas A&M. One A&M student says, “I got a hardship license when I was 15 and all I told them was that I had to drive to school.” A spokesperson for the Depart ment of Public Safety says a person now must be ready to prove that a hardship exists to qualify for the li cense. A person also may be asked to show financial records. As a result of the statutory crack down, an A&M study has found only 1,109 teens qualified for a hardship license in 1984. “The law was a good idea,” Dennis says. “It had gotten to where every kid in junior high school was looking forward to getting a hardship li cense.” Sgt. Bruce Sims of the College Station Police Department says he doesn’t see many drivers with a hardship license. “Driving is too much responsibil ity for most 15-year-olds,” Sims says. “It’s a hard question to put on age. It depends on the maturity of the indi vidual — some 15-year-olds are more mature than some 25-year- olds.” Dennis says there’s a push by some people to make the minimum driving age 18 for everyone. This wouldn’t work, he says, because many 18-year-olds have graduated from high school and gone off to college, making obtaining a license an inconvenience for them. Even after a teen has passed driver education, Dennis says, that new driver isn’t really prepared for the potential dangers faced when driving. “Most driver education programs are weak,” he says. “They don’t ad dress the things that kill drivers. They spend more time teaching par allel parking than how to steer out of a skid.” The hardship license law, Dennis says, will effectively reduce the num ber of teens involved in accidents and will encourage teens to take driver education. Clements: Charge of laxity in education reform untrue AUSTIN (AP) —The U.S. educa tion secretary’s charges that Texas is “backsliding” on education reform seem based on misinformation, Gov. Bill Clements said Monday. The governor also said he was puzzled why Education Secretary William J. Bennett didn’t raise his concerns when he was in Texas last month to address the Legislature. “He just recently spent a couple of days here,” Clements said. “He didn’t have those comments to make then. I don’t know why he has to go out to California and make those comments. I don’t think they have any foundation in fact, and I’m sur prised he made them.” Speaking in San Francisco on Sunday, Bennett told the National Education Association that he was distressed because the Legislature had abandoned plans to test teachers on knowledge of their subjects. Texas Education Commissioner William Kirby said Texas simply de cided on another way to make cer tain teachers are competent to teach their subject specialties. All current teachers were required last year to take the TECAT basic skills test. Those who failed twice lost their teaching certificates. Rather than administer another test on subject knowledge, Kirby said the state Board of Education de cided to rely on teacher appraisals. “We’ve put into place a compre hensive appraisal system,” Kirby said. “We really felt that was the way to eliminate from the classroom any body who was incompetent.” Free Summer Shuttle RESORT ATMOSPHERE Now Preleasing fo Summer/Fall/Spring Huge 2 Bdrm/2 Full Baths IUC LAS V ./ay Leon ipectacul: tear layt Marvin L tome mid Leonar Cin a spli ling’ 5 I Leonat Jidges v founds in jtories in |ome tho iad an ed Judge 113 for lloretti ; Puerra 1 Leonard.
