Iowa House debates driver license changes amid teen age concerns
Lawmakers in Iowa face a lively debate over proposed changes to driver licensing. Instructors like Harvey Hop warn more hours behind the wheel won’t change attitudes while backing a higher school permit age but opposing more extensive hours. Rep. Heaton anticipates three contested issues, including intermediate license rules and home-schooling exemptions. Penny Sweeting cites the permit as saving time for active teens and guardians, while DOT notes drivers under 21 account for the largest share of accidents.
