As of October I was alerted my license was being suspended. I called my insurance company, and they told me I had let my insurance lap. I am 42 years old, and in 25 years I have never done that. What's ironic was, the lady I dealt with for over 15 years had retired. I know I should have caught the issue, but the tag was on an old van in the yard that hadn't moved in fourteen months. Being a full time electrical engineering student at the Citadel, plus working a full time job, makes it hard sometimes. (No excuses, just saying) So, I thought I would see what the DMV would do for me before I got into trouble. Well, in the midst of this is when the great hurricane of 2016 came through. It put me and my family out for over a week. We were totally overwhelmed by missing work and school. Now I am getting my bills back in line when I see the DMV has suspended my license. Holy Cow! This accident went from bad to horrible. I have never had my license suspended. My wife and I are both upstanding people in our community, and now we are being severely punished. I do understand being punished, but suspending my license and hitting me with 400 in fines is a little harsh. I feel like too many people are skating through the system while we working people are getting the shaft. I am not asking for anything but the laws be re-evaluated. We, the working class of America, are slowly losing to the system. Please help me get back a fair way of living. I am not a crook, but now I feel like one. I feel like the state should lessen these fines at least to 200. 400 is an outrageous amount to hammer a working man for such a small mistake. With school, work, and bills these type of fines should be held to somebody who does not care about the law. I do understand I did wrong, however, the punishment is not matching the crime! 104.138.71.126
