Drop out of school, lose your license

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - April 19, 2010

State lawmaker Tom Young is pushing a bill that would revoke driving privileges for those who skip class under the age of 18.

The freshman lawmaker says too many students are not graduating.

He calls it a short-term solution to the long-term problem.

Under the proposal parents could appeal for an exception like when a teen needs to drive to work.
