. America's rules of the road have always been brutally simple: if you get a ticket, pay the fine or your license will be suspended, and driving under suspension is a crime punishable by prison. Now those are still the rules of the road in every state except Vermont.
Last spring the Vermont legislature decriminalized driving with a suspended license except for those suspended for drunk driving or felony reckless driving.
The lawmakers changed the law at the urging of state court administrators who convinced them that dls is a minor offense that had been needlessly choking the clogged criminal dockets.
So as of July first driving under suspension in Vermont became a civil offense that carries a $200 ticket. But under that new law suspended drivers cannot be sentenced to prison even if they never pay any fines and no matter how many times they are caught driving without a license.
