So there is no way for drivers in the USA to lose their license? No point system?

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

There is. If you read the article these are tickets issued by a speed camera. My understanding is there may be a legal obstacle to taking someone's license if the ticket is issued by a camera because you can't prove who was driving the vehicle. The whole point of the article was to promote the "super speeders bill" in New York, which won't actually take anyone's license, it will just require that those with 16 tickets in a year have to have a speed limiter installed in the vehicle.

Yes, there's a point system, at least in the two states I've lived in.

This is rich people, or cops getting away with this.

Only if you're poor.
