$13,000 in speeding tickets! And yet the financial hardship it would place on the economically disadvantaged trumps safety. This is the kind of crap our council voted for. Allowing motorists to keep their licenses with this many tickets. I’m glad Congress is about to yell at them.[/quote]

I mean that apparently financial hardship for the poor is greater than saving lives by not renewing drivers licenses to folks with $13k in tickets.[/quote]

Congress should grill the council about this suv crash. $13k unpaid fines???? I get the equity piece of why they won’t revoke licenses, but it’s not very equitable to the people who died in this crash either. This driver should never have been behind the wheel.[/quote]

the fact that the car can just … drive away after a traffic stop with $13k in tickets is … wow. It was 1:40am. Letting them go was a bigger risk than the chase. [/quote]
