A startling number of Minnesota drivers don't have a valid license and should not be behind the wheel. A KARE-TV/MPR report found that approximately 1 in 8 drivers don't have driving privileges because their licenses have been suspended, revoked, canceled or disqualified. In some cases, they had no license at all. Yet they still drive. Reporter Trisha Volpe analyzed court records between 2008 and 2013 and found that nearly 310,000 people have been convicted for driving when the law says they can't. In the Twin Cities metro area that number was 181,000 with scores of repeat offenders. Volpe reported that motorists with invalid licenses are twice as likely as those with valid licenses to be involved in a fatal crash. Driving without a valid driver's license doesn't carry much of a penalty. A ticket and a fine apparently isn't enough of a deterrent, says Jon Cummings of Minnesotans for Safe Driving.

I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN ONCE JESSIE THE BODY WAS VOTED OUT OF OFFICE...OR SOMETHING....
Why would they care about a little thing like having a valid driver’s license, when powerful politicians and businesses support them breaking the law of the land by being here in the first place?
Imagine that...
Cedar-Riverside has all of the hack licenses.
Just like in NY = ILLEGALS. No Insurance either. Most Mexicans in Mexico never bother to get a drivers license. If they do and loose, usually in a DUI crash, then never bother again. Not knocking, it was from my friend in Mexico.
I can’t figure out how it is possible. I mean physically possible to drive without a State license. How? The State has said they are not capable of driving. How do they still do it? Have we violated a basic tenant of physics here?
Stunning. Mind Blowing.
I’m actually stunned! That’s an amazing percentage!
They just cannot bring themselves to even utter the word "illegal alien".
That explains a lot actually.
I would want to know the reasons for the lost licenses, i.e., drunk driving vs too many parking tickets (or whatever)
It’s the same in Florida. Obamas Dreamers.
One in eight Minnesotans on the road don’t have valid licenses

That’s cause ne in eight “Minnesotans” on the road are illegal aliens...
The “Not a drop” campaign and MADD, probably.
I think when you have limited $ and limited troopers, .08 drivers should be the least of your worries compared to the habitual,repeat offender drunk driver and people driving at .12 and above.
IOW, it’s a money maker for the state.
Please give me a break. Oh yeah, idiots "... and they still write stupid articles....".
Yep, and the headline writer “don’t” know much about grammar!
Not only that, but if a guy goes in arrears on child support, they take his license. Makes a lot of sense, not.
Jesse says he’s hiding from the drones but the smart money says he is hiding from the fact he was once governor of this state!
he’s hiding from his sanity.
I deliberately avoided having a driver’s license for many years, that was useful in the days when most cops would stop at that ticket, and skip giving you the ticket for whatever you were doing to get stopped for.
