Enough, already.  A national driver's licence is extremely unlikely
because of the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which guarantees
the States rights to regulate things that aren't the Federal Government's
business.  Since most drivers are not involved in interstate commerce 
with the use of their vehicles, there is no need for the Federal Government
to get involved.  The only exception to this would be interstate truckers
and salesmen, etc., who use their cars for interstate business.  However,
the only thing that would make sense here is for these individuals to
have an additional interstate license on top of their local license.  What
a bureaucratic hairball that would be!

What I wish is that they'd just make a driver's license easier to renew.
I've got to get mine renewed this year and I dread it; it's a whole 
afternoon off work and those looooooong lines.  There seems to be a
state law here in Illinois stating that there shall be no more than one
ill-tempered clerk for every 200 people in a driver's license facility.
