A recent state report indicates there’s been almost no change in the percentage of Oregon drivers who have no license or car insurance. Changes to driver license requirements took effect several years ago.

Since 2009, Oregon’s DMV and Department of Transportation have done annual reports on the impacts of a 2008 law on driving without a license and without insurance. The law requires people to demonstrate proof of legal residence to get a driver’s license.

The report compares drivers involved in accidents before and after the law took effect.

David House is with Oregon’s Department of Motor Vehicles.

He says, “And what we’ve seen is little to no change. Or if there is a change it’s within the margin of error when it comes to both driving without a license or driving without insurance.”

House says there may be a gradual change because most licenses are valid for eight years. He says some people may be driving now who wouldn’t qualify to renew their licenses when they expire.

Oregon voters will decide in November whether to grant driving privileges to undocumented immigrants who can’t prove their legal presence.
