License Renewal: Two years or Four....are those my only options?

In Vermont, the DMV offers two options when it comes to license renewal. You can either pay $40 to renew for four years or $25 to renew for two years. Well why can't i just renew my license for a year?

Doesn't that make sense? I mean unless your married, with a family and some permanent roots; why would you pay for a four year renewal?

What about the younger generation? College students, only in Vermont for a few years, or VT residents who went out of state for college...like me. I have my own residence in CT, yet still renewed my VT license. In just a couple months I may not be a VT or CT resident, yet I can't go without a license.

What's wrong with a year license renewal? Why should our younger generation with college tuition, bills, and loans to pay off have to suffer? I'd still paying the state for a year long license renewal that would only be used for 3 months....but why should i dish out $25 for a license that will most likely get discarded in 3 months?
