IONTOP Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 The people that I've known that have done it, do it because they lost their license and didn't want to lose their job or call a taxi every day. Pretty stupid if you ask me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMP Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Well it is one of those things where if you don't get caught it doesn't matter. I knew a guy that ended up in a situation where he had some serious fines (several thousand dollars; I forget what he did to get them) and didn't pay them. They automatically suspended his liscense when he didn't pay. He drove around w/ the suspended liscense for about 4 years (We worked in the same place so I gave him a ride to and from when we worked the same shifts, but for me it was a summer job and for him it was all year). Then he came into some money, paid the fines, got his liscense reenstated and was good. Just don't get stopped and don't get in an accident. I'm not sure I could deal w/ the stress. Everytime a cop pulls up behind you it seems like you must be sitting there thinking 'is this the time I go to jail?'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I don't know anyone who does this. I hang with an older crowd, and people with kids and mortgages generally don't screw around with stuff that might get them popped into the pokey at any time.

GoCommiesGo Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I had a buddy who had a suspended license. He usually got rides but every once and awhile he drove to work. I think they need to give these people a work license. You can only be driving a set time frame 9:00-10:00 and 5:00-6:00. To and from work or something similar to that.

dchogs Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 funny, a teammate of mine just told me that he's driving on a suspended liscense last night. he had a ticket that required that he go to court. he apparantly didn't see that part and just paid the ticket. the failure to appear got his liscense suspended. he was going to clear it up today, i think. at least, that's the story he told me. i have no idea how these things work.

twa Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I can think of five right offhand,what's worse I know two that have driven for years and never had a license to start with. They obviously drive better than I do...the cops love to talk to me :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 When i was in college i had a "restricted" license, which meant i could only drive to and from class and work. I had to keep a class schedule in my car at all times. So, i kept 4 class schedules in my car at all times, so at any given time of the day, one would say that i was going to or coming back from class. And i WALKED to class. I drove everywhere else. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissU28 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Plenty of people drive on a suspended license. I had a restricted license a few years ago... I drove on it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
