Abstract
This paper examines the issue of a minimum age for a driver's license, citing adolescent impulsivity, drinking and driving, and the preponderance of countries where the minimum age is at least 17.

From the Paper
"The issue of age requirements for a driver's license eligibility is one that requires serious review. Although opinions differ on the optimal minimal age for a driver's license issuance, scientific data and that of other related studies indicate that teens should begin driving later rather than sooner. Several factors impact the feasibility of teen driving; impulsivity, the prevalence of teen drinking in conjunction with driving, and the preponderance of countries where the minimum driving age is..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the arguments for and against raising the legal minimum age for obtaining a fully privileged driver's license in Illinois and several other states from 16 to 18 years. The writer explains that the advocates for raising the minimum age are motivated by public safety concerns, while their opponents tout the rights of drivers on the other side of the debate.

From the Paper
"There is currently a debate occurring in Illinois and several other states regarding the legal age for obtaining a fully privileged driver's license. The targeted ages are shifting the current minimum age for obtaining a legal driver's license from 16 to 18 years of age following a series of mandated courses, tests, and experience behind the wheel. Some of the primary arguments for doing so revolve around driver and public safety while the arguments for keeping the legal age at its current 16 years of age center on drivers' rights and the increasing demands within society..."

Abstract
This paper presents a research proposal that discusses driver safety training programs. Specifically, the paper questions whether truck driver safety training programs provide a lower number of accidents due to higher compliance with safety standards. It looks at the importance of studying current statistics with regards to truck driver safety and whether tighter driving restrictions would affect them.

From the Paper
"Drunk drivers are certainly serious, and there is no question that they should be removed from the roadways. The argument, however, is that training does not really have much to do with whether these people will drive drunk the first time, and whether they will do it again after they have been caught and 'trained' not to do it again . The same is true with very young drivers . Most of them are required to have a driver's training course before they can get their license, but they also often ignore many of the rules of the road after they receive that license, suggesting that these programs might not really be effective in helping to ensure that younger drivers are safe and that their accident rates are lowered . Much of this is not from the failure of the course itself, but from failure of compliance with the course."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there are more than 2.2 undocumented illegal immigrant drivers in California. The writer points out that they rallied with law enforcers, insurance companies and the religious sector in support of Senate Bill 1160 or the Immigrant Responsibility and Security Act. The writer explains that signed into law, this bill would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for a driver's license. The bill, authored by Senator Gil Cedillo, would allow illegal immigrants to secure a license by presenting a valid passport or identification issued by the consulate of the immigrant's country of origin. The writer discusses the arguments for and against such a bill. The writer mentions the belief that the bill would increase public safety, enhance a sense of responsibility and citizenship, and intensify homeland security by requiring applicants to undergo a criminal background check by the FBI against the terrorism watch list. The writer also explains that, according to surveys, 66% of non-Hispanic whites opposed the bill. This group believed that the bill would condone and encourage the violation of federal immigration law and induce and facilitate the commission of more crimes.

From the Paper
"Cedillo claimed that he had an agreement with the Governor that the latter would help pass a new law with additional security features, but that there would be no identifying markers for illegal immigrants. The Governor denied making any agreement with Cedillo. Instead, he maintained that markers were necessary for homeland security and to prevent terrorists from using a license to open a back account or enroll in flight schools. The license bill supporters argued that banks and airlines already accept consular identification cards. Many law enforcement leaders also claimed that a driver's license would enable them to track down illegal immigrants and that this would tend to result in fewer uninsured drivers and hit-and-run accidents. Conservative Republicans, however, countered that illegal immigrants had violated the law and must, therefore, be punished for it, not rewarded. They had begun taking steps towards a constitutional amendment, which would prohibit the grant of driver's licenses to illegal residents. They also worked for support for this initiative from voters in the March 2006 elections. Likewise, they accused the Governor of double dealing by requiring a marker but trying to keep the sympathy of Latinos."

Abstract
This paper explains that the current licensing procedures are compromised by loopholes and fraud, placing the public at a security risk. The author points out that law enforcement officers express a strong need to ensure safety on public roads by licensing all drivers, regardless of the legality of their residence. The paper concludes that, given the reality that a license is now much more than a license to drive, both the Driver's License Integrity Act and the Visa and License Integrity Act would best serve the need of lawful aliens and temporary visitors, while guarding against abuse from potential wrongdoers.

From the Paper
"Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona has also sponsored the Visa and License Integrity Act. This bill will prevent federal government agencies from accepting licenses as identification documents issued by states that do not tie license expiration to the expiration of an alien's visa. Flake believes that these bills are "common sense, cost-effective ways to address this problem without placing additional burdens on U.S. citizens. Both bills are currently being debated in their appropriate committees."

Abstract
One of the most controversial issues surrounding illegal immigrants over the last few years has been whether or not to give them U.S. driver's licenses. This issue, which has been pushed by various immigrants' rights groups, has been sold as a way of keeping track of illegal immigrants. This paper argues, however, that it will actually accomplish the legitimization of illegal aliens living in the United States. Furthermore, it will provide a security loophole for nefarious foreigners at a time when we should be trying to close such loopholes.

From the Paper
"For example, immigrant advocates have pushed this issue by putting out stories of law abiding undocumented immigrants who are forced to spend countless hours on public transportation because they are currently not able to get a driver's license. What is forgotten in these stories is that these people have no legal right to be in this country to begin with. Stories about people having to endure hardships may be heart wrenching, but that should only enforce the notion of going through proper channels to get citizenship. By giving people a pass and allowing them to forego proper procedures, the government would remove any incentive for people who are in these situations to do the right thing."

Abstract
Due to the population change in the United States, or what is called the "graying of America," the next couple of decades will significantly increase the number of individuals over the age of 65 who are driving on the country's roadways. This paper examines how, because a variety of physical and psychological conditions that either become worse or arise after the age of 50, and because older individuals are involved with a greater number of motor vehicle accidents, it would seem practical that proactive measures be taken at this time. It suggests that special examinations be developed and administered prior to re-licensing that test for the conditions that are most prevalent with aging so that the safety of older individuals and others on the road will be protected.

"Across the country, states are thus assessing the need for drivers tests for elderly. Pennsylvania law requires a doctor to report any condition that impairs a patient's ability to drive. Of 21,000 reports on questionable drivers filed with Pennsylvania officials in 2004, nearly 6,000 resulted in license suspensions, with 181 of the suspensions because of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease. In Canada, drivers over 80 are required to take medical examinations before renewing driver's licenses in British Columbia. Ontario drivers over 80 may have to take a road test every two years. Florida, the state with the largest percentage of seniors, issues licenses for six years, but drivers over 79 must pass a vision test. "

Abstract
The writer argues that there are sufficient existing rules and regulations involving obtaining a driver's license in Illinois. The writer argues further, that raising the legal age would only cause more difficulty for an age group that is, everyday, being tasked with more community responsibilities in terms of work, education and extra-curricular activities.

From the Paper
"There is currently a debate occurring in Illinois and several other states regarding the legal age for obtaining a fully privileged driver's license. The targeted ages are shifting the current minimum age for obtaining a legal driver's license from 16 to 18 years of age following a series of mandated courses, tests, and experience behind the wheel. Some of the primary arguments for doing so revolve around driver and public safety while the arguments for keeping the legal age at its current 16 years of age center on drivers' rights and the increasing demands within society placed upon teenagers."

Abstract
The paper provides a review of the relevant literature concerning the aviation industry in general, point systems and drivers' licensure in the several states and abroad, as well as a discussion concerning current approaches to airfield driver regulation. The paper then outlines the methodology used in this study and presents the results of a custom survey of a representative sampling of currently employed airfield drivers concerning their views about the assignment of points to improve driving performance. The paper concludes that this graduated licensure procedure, wherein points are assigned for various levels of infractions, appears to represent a viable alternative to existing sanction techniques. The paper also provides several recommendations for airports to implement. This paper contains several figures, tables and graphs, as well as an appendix.

From the Paper
"Runway incursion accidents remain a significant problem that affects the safe operation of the airports in the United States today. As airports become increasingly congested, airfield management as well as the entire aviation industry are required to pay increasingly closer attention to the safety of ground operations. The complexity of today's airfield operations have the potential for creating unsafe conditions, especially where aircraft and vehicles may find themselves on active runways in direct conflict with arriving and departing aircraft. Such runway incursions can have tragic results. While aircraft crossing taxiways or runways without clearance may be involved in many runway incursions, people driving vehicles on the movement area may also be involved in an airfield traffic accident. Although some airports employ driver training programs for airport personnel, it is typically assumed that airfield drivers are qualified to drive on the airport by virtue of their positions."
