    The NEW YORK POST (http://bit.ly/1hpiPIh) reports that drivers owing more than $10K in unpaid taxes were given 60 days beginning in the summer to either pay up or have their names forwarded to the DMV for suspension.

    Reps for the state say more than 17,000 warnings were sent out, and that the state has netted some $48M so far from drivers who have settled-up, but for those who haven’t—reckoning day has arrived.

    According to DMV records, Manhattan leads the pack in drivers whose licenses have been yanked, with 1,104—followed by Queens with 1,071, and Brooklyn with 1,019.

    Big deal. If someone is stopped by police for having a suspended license, No Big Deal. You call the Mayor and he bails you out in middle of the night.

    Now if one owes $10,000 in taxes the State will suspend the Drivers License, owe child support the State will suspend Drivers License, owe moving violations the State will suspend Drivers License, owe parking tickets the State will suspend Drivers License.
