One in eight Minnesotans on the road don't have valid licenses | The Drive | StarTribune.com
February 5, 2014
A startling number of Minnesota drivers don't have a valid license and should not be behind the wheel.
A KARE-TV/MPR report found that approximately 1 in 8 drivers don't have driving privileges because their licenses have been suspended, revoked, canceled or disqualified. In some cases, they had no license at all. Yet they still drive.
Reporter Trisha Volpe analyzed court records between 2008 and 2013 and found that nearly 310,000 people have been convicted for driving when the law says they can't. In the Twin Cities metro area that number was 181,000 with scores of repeat offenders.
Volpe reported that motorists with invalid licenses are twice as likely as those with valid licenses to be involved in a fatal crash.
Driving without a valid driver's license doesn't carry much of a penalty. A ticket and a fine apparently isn't enough of a deterrent, says Jon Cummings of Minnesotans for Safe Driving.
That's how it is in minnesota!! Article doesn't say how many are illegals which means most of them are. We need to raise the penalty for driving without a license drastically. Maybe $5000 and some jail time.

I wonder what percentage of those Illegal Drivers were also Illegal Aliens?
My guess would be that most either lost their license due to DUI or for being deadbeat parents

As i explained in the OP, the fact that the article doesn't say how many are illegals proves that most of them are.
I'd guess most have a DUI that yanked their license.That's how it is in minnesota!! Article doesn't say how many are illegals which means most of them are.
Clearly you don't understand the concept of "proof" so please stop trying to explain your insane ramblings.As i explained in the OP, the fact that the article doesn't say how many are illegals proves that most of them are.
Is it possible to obtain insurance without a driver's license?What's worse, having a drivers liscense and no insurance or not having a drivers liscense with insurance?

HUH?? You can lose your license for not paying child support? I can't believe that. How will you pay if lose your job?

I thought it was the other way around?Is it possible to obtain insurance without a driver's license?What's worse, having a drivers liscense and no insurance or not having a drivers liscense with insurance?
Yes, but you can't obtain a liscense without insurance.
I'm guessing one would find a correlation of uninsured driver % to poverty and unemployment stats for a given state.Just read that in New Mexico roughly 30% of all cars on the road are uninsured.
In Maine the number is about 9%.
