Driving on a Suspended License

While I was in court this week, listening to other cases, I overheard the judge ask a defendant if he had driven to court that  morning.  The defendant was having a hearing for Driving on a Suspended License.  It occurred to me why the judge asked that.  He asked that because people are so used to having the freedom to drive that they will even drive to court for a hearing regarding their getting caught driving on a suspended license.

The moral of this story?  Think before you go to court.  If you are going to court because your license was suspended or because you were previously caught driving on a suspended license,  exercise some common sense and have someone else drive you there.
