Drivers licenses being revoked and still travelling to school

Also, people suspended under this provision are almost never granted a hardship license. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but I’ve never seen it in ten years as a probation officer in Indiana.

I agree.

The Judge would just suggest:

• move into a dorm on campus.
• move into an apartment near campus.
• get a bicycle.
• walk.

He would get no sympathy at all. They hear hard-luck stories like this every day.

I would not suggest doing anything illegal. An observation: I have known many people who have had their DL suspended, yet still drove to work/school/shopping. The trick, it seems, is to do it in a way that does not lead to being pulled over.

If you are pulled over, though, you are SOL.

IMHO that trick is tougher now than it used to be. Cops tend to run as many licenses plates as they can through their computers nowadays, and if they find a car on the road who’s owner is under suspension, they’ll find a pretext for pulling it over. So the driver must use someone else’s car. If the driver goofs up and gets pulled over, then the car owner can get charged for wrongfully entrusting his/her car to someone who had a suspended license.

:rolleyes: Or you can throw any pretext out the window and just pull it over for probable cause. Like having a driver who is suspended. If the driver fits the general description of the suspended owner that is enough to pull him over. With some states your DMV photo pops up on the screen to make it even easier.
