If you don't have one, is it because of your age or have you had it suspended through court? Some other misfortune?

I haven't ever had a drivers license. Not even a permit. The courts started suspending my license for 6 months at a time and I never even once had it.

All in all I owe over $3000 before I can even take the test to get it.

I have only ever had one speeding ticket and that went to court as I did not respond to the letters. I had a good lawyer guy sort it out for me though.

I nearly had my car impounded though as in England was have something called a Section 59 where if police detirmine you're driving anti-socially twice during one year they can take your car. I had two section 59's but thankfully they were over 1 year apart so they couldn't take my car. My car has been seized and impounded before though, but for another matter lol. I got it back with no fine.

I try be a good boy and drive safe now.

Here, if you get a 3rd traffic violation (speeding, no light(s), etc) you'll become a habitual offender and they'll take your license for 5 years. (First habitual offense)

I know what you're implying, I'm not able to give you that answer though. I've debated getting a lawyer and disputing it, but I can't afford that either.

To be honest, everything about this state is twisted. Even the weather, which is more bipolar than any woman I've ever met.

I'm from the UK but have criminal record so they won't let me in. I have to wait a few years before I can re-apply.

I don't have any tickets either. I've been in an accident, but wasn't cited for it.

Believe me, you don't want to come here. Especially not my city. Everyone tends to believe that this place is so wonderful, but they've never been here for years at a time or grew up here. It's tragic. I hate it here.
