Louisiana Drivers' License Act Aims to Cut Road Death Toll
The 1946 Louisiana drivers license law introduces minimum driving standards with suspensions or revocations for violations and six listed offenses.

About 600,000 motorists face testing and enforcement as public safety cites 479 deaths and 14,370 injuries last year.
