State Argues Drivers Must Be Financially Responsible
Wisconsin appeals to the State Supreme Court over a driver age law that would suspend licenses when the insured driver is involved in an accident without financial responsibility. The case centers on Frank E. Stehlek whose license was revoked after a failure to post a bond following a collision. District Judge John S. Barry ruled the suspension law invalid, while the state contends a compelling public interest supports license suspensions without prior hearing. The high court will issue its decision later.
