In a car centric country like the United States. Having a suspended license because of debt is just wrong.
It has wide implications against the poor. Poorer people will probably ignore it. Won’t pay it. Drive with suspended license. Have to pay higher premiums or just dropped completely from their carrier. If that person gets in an accident, they will be fucked in the form of medical debt. One can abuse the ER EMTALA for only a short time. Forgo medical treatment and physical therapy. Temporary injuries then translate into permanent disabilities.
Can’t drive. Can’t get insurance. Can’t get a regular job. Can’t afford health insurance. Can’t afford food.
It’s a vicious cycle and it’s amazing how most people are able to get out of this situation without doing anything illegal.
