A few times? How on earth have you been so unlucky? They won't take your license away just for speeding, let alone to a hospital, and even if that happened once to somebody I can't imagine it happening 'a few times' to a single person.
Sorry to be blunt, but were you driving drunk?
- itsoktocry 3y agoThis was my reaction as well. The only people I've ever known to have lost their license were either drunk driving or speeding excessively (ie 35mph+ over the posted speed limit). How do you innocently lose your license on multiple occassions?
- earthling8118 3y agoSome places will take your license for much, much, much simpler things than that. 3 tickets of any kind in a year's period is enough to lose your license in Iowa for example.
- hansvm 3y agoNo, just speeding (and "a few" here means twice [0]). Once only 21mph over (still over 100mph in total), once pretty excessively. It was a fairly automatic extrajudicial process for anyone with enough proof of driving fast enough, regardless of what punishment (if any) came out of the trial.
