but this issue is the proverbial no-brainer. the reasons offered in support the proposal rang shallow, more politics than sound public policy.

when this first came up, and BTD was waving the red flag in support, he claimed, based on purported, but never identified, studies, that this would result in safer streets. i asked, several times, for the source of these studies, and never got a response.

a reasonable person, similarly situated, might conclude that such studies exist only in the minds of those advocating for the cause. that seems harsh to me. i'll assume BTD, and you, just didn't see my request.

I've provided the information (5.00 / 2) (#12)

with links several times on why the licenses would make the streets safer. You just refuse to believe it.  You can use the "search box" on the site for any number of related terms and find it.

I stopped responding to him.

Some people will not accept what they do not want to accept.

the New Mexico Insurance Identification Database I reference below when into effect at the very end of 2002, which is almost assuredly the reason for the higher auto insurance compliance rates that were observed starting in 2003 that your link references.

In NM you don't need insurance to get a license, nor a licence to get insurance.

search terms are meaningless, when there's nothing to search.
