DAMIAN STINNIE, a 24-year-old lymphoma patient, was forced into homelessness because he could not pay his traffic fines. “More than 7 million people nationwide may have had their driver’s licenses suspended for failure to pay court or administrative debt,” The Post’s Justin Wm.

They can limit the potential for small fines to escalate into absurd sums. And they can allow those on suspended licenses more latitude, for example by permitting them to drive to job interviews.
