GENERALLY SPEAKING: State issuing new driver’s licenses to help cut fraud
By Theodore W. General
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles has been begun issuing new “fool proof” driver licenses. A NYC teacher showed us the new version she received other day. According to the DMV, the new licenses have been designed with more than 30 security features making them among the most secure in the country.
Comparing it to my license which doesn’t expire until 2018, it is made from a tougher plastic with a small see through window with the operator’s photo etched on the window in addition to the larger laser-engraved portrait. The photos are no longer in color. Apparently, the black and white photos have a better resolution when law enforcement officers run photo comparisons. Ever watch NCIS or Law and Order!
