For Drivers in ,
New York State
The Ontario Department of
Transport draws the attention of
drivers visiting New York State to
the feel-that ethe state does not
issue full drivers' licences to drivers
living in. the state if they are under
eighteen years of age.

special juniors licence to 'those be-
tween ages of sixteen,
eighteen.
This means that drivers licensed
in Ontario who are between sixteen
and eighteen years of age cannot
legally drive a. vehicle in New York
State on their Ontario Licence.
Young drivers should be aware of
this fact in order to avoid a
violation of the New York Stata•
