      I wouldn’t be surprised if half of the people who lost their license are still driving. Losing your license in the first place, is not a sign of good decision making.

        Loss of licence in a city built exclusively for car based transport isn’t going to be very successful in keeping people from driving

      This was me for 8 years. I had multiple driving on suspended in multiple states. Finally paid everything off, which was a LOT of money, and got my license back. If you don’t have much money you really don’t have much of a choice if you live in a rural area.

      Maybe if every town in the country has properly funded public transit that was safe and reliable, we’d see less situations like this.

      My city’s of public transit is a joke and we wonder why there’s so many drunk drivers. Can’t even sleep off the booze in your car without getting a DUI from some dickhead cop.
