Silicon Valley's Driving License: Latest Addition to Accurascan's Cards List

17 Aug 2020

Silicon Valley is a region in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California that serves as a global centre for high technology, innovation, venture capital, and social media. As more high-tech companies were established across San Jose and the Santa Clara Valley, and then north towards the Bay Area's two other major cities, San Francisco and Oakland, the term "Silicon Valley" has come to have two definitions: a narrower geographic one, referring to Santa Clara County and southeastern San Mateo County, and a metonymical definition referring to high-tech businesses in the entire Bay Area. Seeing the tech scene in the valley, there is a greater involvement related to the documents especially driving license records.

Why Driving License is important in the valley?

Unrestricted Licenses are driver licenses that most American drivers have to drive. Various states differ on what class they utilize to distinguish between a typical driver license and special licenses, such as restricted, chauffeur, or motorcycle licenses. For instance, Tennessee designates Class D as a regular driver license, while Class M is a motorcycle license and Class H is a hardship license.

Hardship licenses for minors are driver licenses that are restricted to drivers between 14 and 15 (sometimes up to 18) years old who need to drive to and from home and school due to serious hardships, e.g. the driver's family has financial or medical problems, or the driver needs to get to work or school and has no other practical way of getting to work or school. A hardship license for minors is distinct from hardship licenses granted for drivers with revoked or suspended licenses. The table below includes states that provide hardship licenses for minors.

Provisional Licenses are functionally the same as a driver license but are typically issued to new drivers under the age of 18, i.e. 14–17 years old. Almost all states have some form of a graduated licensing provision. The actual restrictions and the length of time a new driver must adhere to them vary widely by state.
