Meanwhile, at my former high school...

So this Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale was found at my former high school, Hebron High School. I know nothing about this car except for the fact that it's apparently super rare and that there's only 150 of them in existence worldwide. Honestly, I could care less about the car. I'm not a huge car fanatic. What I do care about is the abusing of the hardship license. I mean, come on. There's gotta be some reason why Texas decided to raise the official age to get a license from 15 to 16. And it's because of that new rule change that parents feel it's necessary for their kid to apply for a hardship license? You have to fall under at least one of four conditions in order to get this license, which include:
  1. The applicant's family faces an unusual economic hardship and is being deprived of the basic necessities of life. 
  2. The applicant has an ill family member who needs transportation to medical treatment or the applicant must drive in her place to keep the household running. 
  3. The applicant is enrolled in a vocational educational program. 
  4. An immediate family member has died and remaining family members need him to drive temporarily to carry on household routines. 
Back to the Gallardo STS. The driver is apparently a 15-year-old girl with a hardship license. Please explain to me what sort of hardship she is under in order to get that license. I'm sorry. I didn't get my license until I was 18 and that's cuz my parents are Asian and wouldn't let me drive until then. Is it completely necessary to be on the road at 15? Where else would you be driving besides school? You can just ride the school bus. I also don't understand why some parents would encourage going around the system like that. Do you really want to be paying higher auto insurance rates cuz last time I checked paying for insurance was not cheap. I also blame whoever is handing out these licenses. Geez. Can't you do something to make sure the applicant actually fall under the conditions necessary to get that license? Get yo stuff together, man.
