ADVERTISEMENTMinnesota's Drivers License for All law went into effect in October 2023, and has seen a steady increase in the number of people taking the test.
The Drivers License for All law allows all state residents to get a standard Class D driver's license, instruction permit or ID card regardless of their immigration status.
"Well, your 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds are our most dangerous drivers," said Pete Hosmer, president of the Minnesota Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association.
ADVERTISEMENT"Now, the statistics for people in that age group that have been taking driver's education, their pass rates are in the 70 to 75 percentile.
Now, people that don't take driver's education, their passing rates are maybe 50%," Hosmer said.
