Our civilization is designed to force people to drive to live, work, get food, etc. What are people supposed to do for work and food if they cant drive?

[Missdaphanyma]

It’s all about money for the government. They screw you over. Tickets are pricey and sometimes they are simple mistakes like not paying insurance on time or blah blah. It’s not about safety for them, it’s MONEY! if it was for a DUI or reckless driving etc. I’d understand, but that’s not always the case.

It's all about money. It always is.

Police are always so insensitive. "They do it to themselves". What if you live in an area where there aren't any buses or public transportation? How are people supposed to work? What do you mean call a friend? They are working too! Then they have the nerve to ask people why they haven't paid their fines. They can't afford them if their license are suspended and they can't get to work!

[Reub]

Its all about ways to squeeze more money out of people. They say its for "safety" but its not. It becomes about bringing in more revenue.

I’m about to be homeless because of a suspended license. I got a speeding ticket a couple months ago and since I’m under 21 they suspended my license. It’s my first ticket. I had to drop out of college to pay for driving school, the ticket, court fees, reinstatement fees, etc. and I eventually lost my job because I couldn’t show up if I couldn’t get a ride to work from a coworker. Now I’m in thousands of dollars of debt, my credit score has plummeted, I owe collections, I’m behind on all my bills, I have no income and no support. The system is made so that rich and/or supported individuals survive and others can’t.
At this point it’s just that I’d rather be homeless than go to jail for driving because I still hope to finish school and get a job one day.

all because its expensive and nearly impossible to get reinstated.. and they wonder why running from cops on motorcycles is getting so fucking popular.

[SuperEvilC]

Got suspended after hitting A DEER AND THE OFFICER DIDN'T TURN IN INSURANCE INFORMATION...
IT WASN'T MY FAULT!! CROOKED BMV KEPT TRYING TO CHARGE ME $250. Suspended for many months AND THEY DON'T BOTHER CONTACTING YOU!! Didn't find out until I went in to renew my license!!
I DIDN'T DO IT TO MYSELF!!

[stevelamperta]

THIS VIDEO IS DECEIVING TO THE PUBLIC WITH HALF TRUTHS ! ONE THING THE GOVERNMENT WILL " NEVER " TELL THE PUBLIC IS WHAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE !

[AMIYAMOMI]

He has no remorse for these people. He’s type of neighbor that I wouldn’t want

[GDC-vp]

I just got my drivers license back after 21 years! I will never neglect this privilege again!

[darylforster]

I was suspended once in N.J. for failure to pay child support. The court made an error and my ex wife even went to court to tell them I was current on my payments. They didn't care and made me pay a restoration fee. It's all about the money and the bullshit.

[stevelamperta]

Its against the law to be poor in this country ! And if you don't understand this ask any poor person, they'll explain it to you !!

[waltermoore]

Having a suspended license Sucks..and there are no alternatives to getting around when buses shut off after 830 p.m. So since no one wants to help..people drive!!

[ryanburton]

How are unpaid tickets because you can't afford it mean you're not responsible to drive

[darkwaters]

I hate the "they've done it to themselves" bullshit reasoning. No, the state did it to them.

[ClashxClipzz]

Failure to pay, Failure to pay, failure to pay.... Then he gives him another tickets 🤯 wtf why give him more debt? He cant pay his tickets and he needs to drive to survive. This cop is insane.

[supernova]

At least in Pennsylvania if you’re suspended. You can still drive to work and work only until you can pay your fine.

[abaddj]

Don't believe the idear that when your license is suspended it's because you're a bad driver

[holdenthompson]

Bill's don't stop just cuz they took your license. They didn't take my keys
