I have been unemployed for the past year. I have now been offered a job as a driver of a heavy motor vehicle but I cannot get my permit to drive such a vehicle. I have been told by the Licensing Office that because I renewed my light motor vehicle permit late, I have to wait another year to apply. I find this regulation to be unfair and punitive. It may lead other youths like me to a life of crime in order to make a living.
