Powell vows continued crackdown on fake licenses
Secretary of State Paul Powell told the Illinois Youth Traffic Safety Conference that he will push in 1967 for stricter controls on counterfeit licenses. He stressed the offense harms respect for licenses and driving privileges and noted fakes have appeared with revoked or suspended licenses. Powell would require the high school driving course for 16 and 17 year old applicants, linking the program to fewer teen collisions and traffic arrests.
