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.”
