Sorry but isn't the purpose of such licensing requirements to ensure that the roads are safe?

If so, why would him having a debt to the state matter? Clearly him mailing the cash or not wouldn't change his risk profile for driving.

The anti-social thing here is to leverage what is ostensibly a safety concern into a tool of compliance.

Yes. Like the other responses, you’re only seeing the original ticket when replying to a comment about driving on a suspended license.

As I alluded to, a gradual system of consequences building to suspension, or some other method of easing into or helping avoid the penalty state, would be more fair, especially for light offenses like the OP’s.

That does not change that we expect people not to drive on public roads when they’re barred from using them.
