Nothing you can't solve with an 'emergency override' button misuse of which will automatically result in you losing your drivers license.
Okay, on paper, yes, it exists but then you have:
- "Hardship" exceptions for going to work/groceries, which are totally abused.
- Driving on a suspended license anyway. When you get caught, nothing happens. Perhaps the suspension is extended.
- As a shitty driver, you plead your case before a jury and the decision is reversed because most people are shitty drivers and they sympathize with other shitty drivers.
Source: I was hit in my grandmother's driveway by a driver with a suspended license. Went to court. Nothing happened other than insurance paying for the damage.
> If you are convicted for driving with a suspended license, you will be charged with a first degree misdemeanor. This entails a maximum of 6 months in jail and up to $1,000 in fines
Basically it will just become a side channel for revenue just like everything else about drunk driving already is.
The stakes are very high with impaired driving. In many states your first impaired driving charge can be felonious even if there is no injury or accident. In about half of all states your second impaired driving is automatically a felony despite no injury or accident. Society has a right to protect its roadways. However, we also need to be very careful about wanton criminalization. The penal system in the USA is backwards and barbaric
This is just like the majority of gun control laws that do little more than infringe the rights of the law abiding gun owner.
Please, add nuance when making such an assertion. It completely depends on the state you're in and which factors the state considers when refusing. For example; In Florida it may result in the suspension of your license for one year, which can be appealed.
