Florida Sees High Rate Of Driver Licence Suspensions Due To Unpaid Fees, Fines
More than one in 10 Florida drivers has a suspended license. Most of those drivers have had their privileges suspended, not because of dangerous driving, but because of unpaid fines or fees.
State Representative Byron Donalds (D-80th District) discussed the legislative push to help people with suspended drivers’ licenses for unpaid fees to get their licenses reinstated.
