Reinstated Driving Restrictions Pending Fund Reforms
The article notes that driving license suspensions will be imposed immediately under new rules. Since July 1, 1947, over 8 million dollars has been paid from the fund to settle judgments deemed uncollectable, including more than 750 thousand to hit and run victims. Only about 300 thousand has been recovered, as debtors must prove insolvency to receive payouts. Currently about 2,440 people are barred from owning or operating a vehicle until debts are arranged.
