I'm a tax-paying, law abiding (mostly) citizen.

A 30 day impound bill would bury me. And I make an ok living.

The impound is essentially a mechanism to transfer private property from one citizen to another. At the end of 30 days, if you can't pay the impound bill, they auction your car.

It's an excessive punishment for a misdemeanor, citizen or no citizen.



Your insurance, if you had any, is not active if your license is not valid. If you don't have the money to get your car out of impound I guess if you have an accident the people you hit are really screwed aren't they, all because you were selfish and irresponsible enough to drive without a license.

So if that is the rationale, why do drunk drivers get their vehicles back the next morning?

Also, the insurance thing is a red herring. It's not relevant to the discussion.

Drunk drivers are not relevant to the discussion but I would give them an automatic 90 license suspension and impound their cars. Not having insurance is a big deal and another crime btw, others on the road don't deserve to pick up the slack because drivers without licenses don't feel the law applies to them. I love to hear people defend those with no personal responsibility.

If you have a license and it is suspended or revoked this doesn't apply to you, it only applies to people who have never had a license.

Yeah, we've been through this before.

It is too harsh considering drunk drivers can pick up their car the next morning.

Until the law is changed so that you have to have a license to own a car, I think the state is overreaching here.

It's a huge corrupt racket as well, which I have a huge problem with.



people accused of drunk driving can pick up their cars in the morning because they arent guilty of any crimes yet.

illegals are, well, breaking the law by definition.
