Tonight, I towed a truck for DWS. On the MDT, the driver had three pages of recent DMV activity.
When I handed him his citation, I asked, What's it gonna to take to get your license back?
"$26,000," he said.
You owe $26,000 on your license?
"Yes," he replied.
He'll never be able to pay off his fines, and he won't stop driving.
There is a kind of futility about it, isn't there?

Could he eventually end up in jail if he keeps driving without a license, or will they just keep giving him fines?

I love those guys. They won't pay the tickets, won't show up to court, but will get their vehicles. This is who I go after. I am trying to get them switch them to DWS-misdemeanor so I can take them to jail.

@BnC,
Yes, this is many ways my job makes me feel like Sisyphus.
@JA,
In the past a habitual offender could have been made DWS on a Misdemeanor level, but the legislature changed the statues several yeas ago. He will continue to toll up fines. In some areas of the U.S, notably the south, a Habeas warrant would be issued. The Driver would spend so many days in jail, and his record would be clear of fines.
