Record Number of Iowa Motorists Will Lose Licenses This Year
DES MOINES COPAJ Ay due to faulty driving habits safety commissioner William Sueppel predicts the state will suspend and revoke 14001 licenses. The figure represents about one percent of drivers. Six months into the year 6521 motorists have lost licenses and last year saw 4000 revocations or suspensions. The rise stems from record moves, stricter enforcement of habitual violators, and tighter departmental policies. Over 2000 licenses have already been lost this year for habitual violations. OMVI accounts for better than half of revocations. Courts are cooperating, sharing driver information, and traffic judges are urged to impose jail for serious offenses rather than fines. Suspension allows reclaim after tests. revocation requires new licensing steps. Driving without a suspended or revoked license leads to mandatory jail of two days or more.
