I’d have some sympathy if it weren’t for how far you need to go to get a license suspended in the first place.
I get that there are some places where needing transportation is basically required to live… Which is all the more reason not to fuck up bad enough to get that very means of travel suspended in the first place.
I see enough dangerous driving on a daily basis that it’s practically second nature around these parts… The less of the those on the streets the better.

All you have to do is talk back to a small town cop.
Once they decide to punish you, there’s nothing to be done. They can sit a block from your house and pull you over every single day and write a bullshit speeding ticket. The same cop wrote me up at least a dozen times. Admittedly I was speeding the first time, and possibly some of the others, but I was always with the flow of traffic and close to the limit. He would just write up whatever he wanted.
The most annoying part was when my father borrowed my car one morning and got pulled over instead. He was mad at me for it, because me pissing off the cops got him pulled over even though he never goes above the limit.
And if you live in a small town, there is no public transportation, there is no taxi service. If you don’t drive you have to walk or ride a bike. And all of the work available is many miles away, because everything is when you get rural.
Although I don’t disagree with your comment about the number of bad drivers, I just think this article lacks enough details to come to your conclusion.
