It very much is possible, and this coming from someone who walks with a cane.
That doesn’t excuse driving with a suspended license, unless you’re at the level of “Abolish driving licenses” Libertarian Party style; licenses are a basic safety precaution and suspending one is supposed to reinforce the seriousness of the offense of unsafe and illegal driving.
You can drive in the US without livestreaming it to your judge (shocking, I know).
or do you live somewhere with sidewalks and some level of public transit?
Fuck no.
Who asked for your judgement? Do you know why his license was suspended?
No, but the purpose of licensing and suspensions is to ensure safety on the road; “It was okay that he was driving on a suspended license because living in the US without driving is hard” completely ignores the point of licenses to begin with. If you’re a proponent of no licensing, then at least you’re consistent - if you aren’t, then this was still quite clearly a fucking stupid move on this guy’s part.
I had mine suspended once because I dared to buy car insurance in a different state than the car was registered. Does that make me an unsafe driver just because I didn’t know you had to register the cars before transferring insurance?
Yes, actually, since insurance is part of safety on the road, considering you’re driving a multi-thousand dollar (at minimum) piece of machinery with the speed and weight necessary to crush a human being like a bug if your attention is distracted at the wrong time, even if through no fault of your own. Most states mandate that your insurance, well, cover the car you’re driving in order to be allowed on the road.
While true it’s completely irrelevant to the question you’re answering.
Oh, in that case, I suppose the question I answered is also irrelevant to the original comment I fucking made, which was about not livestreaming breaking the law to your court appointment.
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?
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.
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.
on the other hand how is one supposed to live without being able to drive in the us?

Weak-ass comment.

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

Live in a 15-min city?
Push for more public transportation?
Millions do it all the time.
“Just move to another country”
Rare in the US
that was sort of my suggestion
