I'm sorry, but I can't think of any situation that requires you to drive in order to obtain electricity and food. First, there is the postal system. Envelopes are dirt cheap, and stamps are, what, 50 cents if you insist on buying them individually from a gas station vending machine? And then there's the bus. I don't know about prices in your area, but in mine, a bus trip, plus one transfer to another route, costs $1. A month pass, meaning I could ride any route any number of times I want for the entirety of the month, is less than $30. Then of course, there are taxis (yes, a little on the pricey said), and friends/acquaintances that might be headed in the same direction you need to go. No, there is no good reason that would signify a "need" to drive in a suspended license.
Since you didn't mind to ask I'll let you know I'm from a very rural area of WV. The only town that I am near is 30 miles away and there is no bus that will pick you up and take you there. To get to work on a daily basis without me risking losing my job in the first place it was necessary for me to drive.
As far as me not being "smart enough" to drive a car without getting pulled over is just stupid. You have no idea why I was pulled over and it had absolutely nothing to do with breaking any traffic laws.
Why didn't I pay the tickets in the fist place? Do you guys really want me to go over my monthly budget with you?
Ever heard of min wage? Christ.
