In Rochester, Minnesota, 20 police officers are volunteering as driver ed instructors to assist teens in obtaining their licenses for lower costs, Catharine Richert reports for NPR. Instead of paying the regular $400 class fee, students are encouraged to pay what they can afford. The initiative provides a boon to teens trying to get jobs. The lower cost of licenses also benefits teens who, at times, attempt to drive without a license leading to run-ins with law enforcement.
