on the other hand how is one supposed to live without being able to drive in the us?
It's pretty damn hard, no doubt. But that doesn't mean everyone should be able to drive by default and we should just do away with driver's licenses (or whatever you may be suggesting)
Also, it's pretty stupidly easy to get a license here, and easier yet to keep it.
if i'm suggesting anything it would be public transit.
if some guy is prohibited from driving but has no alternative to go to the doctor, he will just risk it and drive anyway. makong the punishment ineffective and possibly turning it into a snowball for the driver.
Weak-ass comment.
The question referred to the US as a whole. The specific state of Michigan was not a condition of the inquiry.
Do you know why his license was suspended? Surely, your situation was annoying and probably unnecessary. This does not mean that your situation applies to most license suspensions. On the contrary, most license suspensions are a result of reckless driving or other offenses.
People are allowed to insert additional irrelevant remarks as they please. This is a public online forum, not an institution or formal establishment. In the same way, I can tell you to get over yourself. Who asked for your judgement? Do you know exactly what the original commenter was looking for in a response?
Stfu :)
Even if he "had" to cheat and drive, he could've chosen to be like a minute later and call from anywhere except a driver's seat of a moving vehicle.
yeah he could not have been dumb
You know what's funny? You calling him dumb, when it was probably someone exactly like you, with your subpar reading and comprehension skills, that made the clerical error showing his license was still suspended when it had actually been restored.
Live in a 15-min city?
Push for more public transportation?
Millions do it all the time.
"Just move to another country"
The solution to your immediate personal problem is to work towards a cause I support.
that was sort of my suggestion
Rare in the US
