Georgia governor walks back teen driving test waiver

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Hey, remember when Georgia Governor Brian Kemp removed the requirement for teens to take a state driving test in order to get their license during the coronavirus outbreak?

Yeah, it would appear as though he's walked that decision back somewhat. A report by WSB-TV2 Atlanta states that in addition to changes to the governor's plans to reopen the state, he signed a new executive order amending the driver's license test waiver to act merely as an extension.

By extension, he means that all of those 20,000 kids who went and got their driver's licenses without taking the driving test now have until Sept. 30, 2020, to do so, or their licenses will be considered invalid.

Now, it would seem that -- based on the language used the first time around, anyway -- this new executive order is more of a response to criticism from the media and others than it is a real clarification on the previous order.

2. OK, I'm missing something here, why was the First order necessary?

Why did the kids need to get driving license in the middle of a pandemic? Most things were shut down. A lot of things had to be rescheduled due to the pandemic. A friend had to postpone a wedding for a few months, heck we are still not sure when the wedding will happen- The venue has not re-opened. If I had a teenager, the last thing I would be worrying about is them getting a license in the pandemic. Actually, I would think it was a good thing since teens sometimes think they are invincible.

3. Can't imagine it's a good idea to give driver licenses

to anyone who doesn't take the appropriate tests.
