Adjustment is small and not much change for the department - just to force the driver to take seriously the question, said a spokesman for the Department of Motor Vehicles Jaime Garza.

One reason for lower donation rates in California, the nature of the country itself, where a diverse population, and while people will feel less of their neighbors, are said Stewart. Alaska and Montana, which is not to attract outsiders to the same level, the organ donation rate of 76 percent for adult drivers, he said.
Countries that have the highest number of donors is "a land where people lived there by choice and their families for several generations there is a large number of people speak English and understand the questions asked, and you're with a general feeling of voluntariness to do, "Stewart said.

"California is so me, me, me, me, me all the time," said Padayao. "The people here are very willing to take."
Stewart admitted that the waiting time and hassle of the DMV a weakness, the last, the new law or not. At home you can apply for the renewal of driver issues and make informed decisions.
Meanwhile, demand has exceeded supply for the organ.
Less than 1 percent of the people, the organs after they are finished harvesting, to choose to donate, because the scenario is so little left brain dead, with more oxygen pumped to the organs and tissues to remain alive for the transfer. And leave the manner of death, the transplanted organ in a state - such as major head injury and traffic accidents - declined.
