Hardship Drives Suspension Case Highlights Family Losses
A 31 year old mother of five faced a $150000 loss of income after her husband, 35, died in a crash where the other driver was cited for reckless driving and later convicted of speeding. The widow paid $200 for a month to drive her husband’s car. She and her five children were supported by relatives during recovery. The driver received 100 demerit points and a one month license suspension to reduce below the 100 threshold. He also appeared on hardship grounds and used a costly bus for 30 days. The case included funeral costs of $2000 and medical expenses of $3000, with Social Security benefits projected at $55000 until the youngest child reaches 18.
