Parents who have had their driver’s license suspended for nonpayment of child support can get their license restored through a program offered by Trinity County Department of Child Support Services.
“Get Back on the Road Again” targets parents who have had their license suspended because they did not meet their full child support obligations. The program is available to parents with child support cases in all California counties during August. “We want to assist the parent who may be having a tough time financially, but wants to do the right thing for his or her children,” said Robin McStay, director of the Trinity Country Department of Child Support Services.
“We recognize that people need their license to be able to work,” she said. Under a 1996 California law, noncustodial parents who do not pay their child support may have their driving license suspended until they bring their payments current continue

“In order to mitigate the loss of young lives, the MVA Fund has developed a Learner Driver’s License initiative aimed at increasing learner-driver skills though practical and theoretical training,” spokesperson Catherine Shipushu said. “The Fund also strongly discourages people from buying driver’s or learner’s licenses, as they will not have knowledge of the road signs and this puts them and other road-users at risk,” she said. Shipushu explained that the fund has decided to train 50 young Namibians this year through NATIS centers in towns where the MVA has offices; Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Keetmanshoop, Otjiwarongo and Gobabis. Of the 50 learners, 25 are from the marginalized San communities, living in the Divundu and Kongola constituencies and were trained already in March of this year. All 25 participants passed their learner’s license exams at Natis in Rundu and of these 11 have gone on to continue
It used to be teens couldn’t wait to get their driver’s license. The rite of passage marked a new level of independence. It signaled new found freedom and a hallmark on the road to adulthood. That’s still true, but more teens may be waiting long past their 16th birthday to get the once coveted driver’s license. Brandon Smith of Dunwoody waited. So did Anthony Acker and Zachary Neal, both of Stone Mountain. When they signed up for a class this summer at Taggart’s Driving School, Smith was 17, Neal was 18 and Acker was 19. According to the Federal Highway Administration, half the country’s 16-year-olds got their license a decade ago. Today only a third get them, it says. Zachary Neal, 18, will be the last among his friends to get a driver’s license continue
