luxuriate in the purity of your own irrelevancy and unworkability then. But don’t you dare cross a damned state border, or you will be in violation of your own pure demands.

What are you talking about? When I cross state borders, I am responsible to comply with the laws of that state. I have no problem with that, as long as those laws don’t violate the U.S. Constitution.

If a state has a law or laws that that I find abhorrent, I can always avoid visiting that state.

I have 3 questions for you.

1) What gives the Federal government get the authority to tell states who it should give drivers licenses to, and what restrictions to put on them?

2) Why is Federal regulation of state drivers licenses necessary?

3) Does it make sense for a state like North Dakota or Kansas, with low population density and roads that are not very crowded to have the exact same requirments as a state like New Jersey or New York, dictated to them by the Federal government?

Even within NY State, different counties have different age and other restrictions for teenage drivers, as driving conditions are very different in say, Warren county, as compared to in Nassau, Suffolk (Long Island) or New York (Manhattan) counties.
