State Grants Man's License After He's Accused Of Killing 2

DENVER -- A husband and wife are killed in a car crash and the man charged with killing them did not have a driver's license. Yet, two weeks later, the state gave him one. How could this happen?

Frederick Culp, 29, has amassed a long driving record. He has been involved in more than a dozen accidents and yet even after the elderly couple he hit died, Culp is still behind the wheel. What's worse, state officials admit there may be others on the road just like him, said 7NEWS Investigator John Ferrugia.

After reading the article, my impression is that he's a psychopath. Who else would engage in more reckless driving the day after he killed these people?

How many Culps are out there, driving without licenses in Colorado?

Department of Motor Vehicle records show more than 3,700 drivers who have been stopped two or more times in the past two years driving without a license.

People might not like it much, but as far as I'm concerned, after the first offense, there would not be a third.

If the first offense involved injury or death to another, there would not be a second.

I'll never forget sitting in a small cafe with my wife, and overhearing some young (teens/twenties) local girls bragging about their boy friends, each trying to top the other with how many suspensions/driving revoked, etc their guy already had under his belt, and was still driving.

Most apalling was how "safe" a driver they considered them to be, as in 'only' X number of accidents; and never HIS fault.
