Driver's license applications down in Oregon
By Associated PressSALEM, Ore. (AP) - Fewer people are now trying to get an Oregon driver's license, after tough new regulations took effect earlier this year. The Statesman-Journal also reports that the number of driver-knowledge tests taken in Spanish has fallen to its lowest level since the state began offering the exams in that language in 1990. And there's been an uptick in the number of people who have been turned away by the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division because they don't have the right documents. Under the new rules, drivers must show a verifiable Social Security number, proof of citizenship and Oregon residency. Of the nearly 600,000 non-commercial driver's license tests given by the state last year, more than 245,000 were in a language other than English. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press.
