In 2005, the last year for which statistics are available, there were 8,802,906 licensed drivers and identification card holders (meaning that the actual number of drivers is somewhat less than 8.8 million).

A Woman’s Right to Choose
By Rachel Chumita
A woman has the right to choose. Isn’t that what everyone (especially the media) has been screaming for years? Well, I believe that, to an extent. A woman has the right to choose many things. A woman can choose what she wants to wear, what she wants to eat, where she wants to shop, what she wants to carry, and various other things.
