[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A cop ran our plates this last week because we were parked in front of a fire hydrant for 5 mins (bagel run, rain). And told us that dh's license was suspended for failure to answer a ticket that we don't remember receiving from a town that we have not driven through in 2 years. We can't reach the town. How is this a thing? We are in 2023 - how is it possible to have your license suspended over a ticket you never even knew you had and a town you cannot reach.

This is the kind of thing that makes life not actually work. [/quote]

yall need to start following traffic laws in your immediate family![/quote]

sure but no idea what traffic law we even broke in this random town! 
also i should add that i was iN THE CAR during the bagel run. I could have easily moved the car.  cop just gave me a ticket anyway. i guess bored.[/quote]

If it is possible there is an error and you never received any notice of the ticket, you're going to have to jump through the hoops to prove it.

But of course it is legal to suspend a license over unpaid tickets.  There needs to be an enforcement mechanism.

And I'm not sure why you think it being a "random town" has any relevance.[/quote]

relevant bc if was nyc (where we live) it would be in the system and we would be alerted. 
we never received this - had no idea it existed. seems insane to suspend someone's license over something they had no idea existed. and we are organized ppl![/quote]

You think other towns do not put things "in the system" and alert you?
As I said, it is on you to track it down and prove there was an error, if there was one.

But it is most certainly legal for a state to suspend a license over an unpaid ticket.[/quote]

but is it not weird that you have no idea?[/quote]
