Last I checked Joe, there were strict requirements in place in order to receive a drivers license. Yes, even for illegal immigrants. I never heard about a license being passed out. Maybe if Mr Aceves would have had to pass a test and get insurance he would have learned a thing or two about driving safely. However, they didn't seem to help all the others in this police report.
