All it takes is a simple law stating that if you circumvent the speed limiter you face far more serious penalties. Done and done. Literally no different than how we handle suspended licenses.
- pdonis 1y ago> Literally no different than how we handle suspended licenses. The article points out that 75% of people with suspended licenses continue to drive.
- JumpCrisscross 1y agoCriminalising driving on a license suspended for a traffic offence (note: not expired or for financial reasons) seems like the easiest no brainer imaginable.
- esseph 1y agoDriving to work sounds like a financial reason
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Driving to work sounds like a financial reason Not a get out of jail free card.
- esseph 1y agoIn many states they'll still let you (drive for work, otherwise on restriction) for various offenses.
- zo1 1y agoThat just means the penalties are not strict enough. Even worse, we're afraid to impose real penalties (jail) so we rather just "fine" people (because it's more humane?), which will affect those most likely to drive without a license more than the regular folk. The regular folk will be scared shitless and will just get a lift with someone till their license issue is resolved.
- standardUser 1y agoYeah and you don't want to be caught like that because you will be way more fucked than you were with just a suspended license.
- foxyv 1y agoThis. Especially if you impound the vehicle and then repair it at the owner's expense.
