Your driving privileges can be suspended for any number of reasons. For example, in states like Texas or Massachusetts, you can lose driving privileges for non-payment of child support. Repeated moving violations and accidents, or DWI charges can also cause the judge to suspend your driving privileges. The problem with losing driving privileges is that for many Americans, the inability to drive interferes with their employment. Unless you live in a major city with a good public transportation system, you must drive to work.
