when i was younger, i had an accident that i was ticketed for. being young, dumb, and poor, i buried the ticket somewhere and promptly forgot about it. a few months later, i got a letter from the DMV letting me know that, because i hadn't showed up to court, my licsense was suspended. again, having no money to pay the fines and reinstate the licsense, i just drove on it, being supercareful not to get caught. i drove almost two years like that before i finally got the means to clear the issue up and reinstate my licsense.
in that whole time, i was pulled over once, by a motorcycle cop who was bored. it was late at night and i turned left into the right lane, so he pulled me, looked at my licsense, and told me not to do it again. had he checked my information through dispatch, i would have been assed out.
