The Scots know how to put teeth in their laws. Driving without a license or without insurance could cause your car to end up in a crusher in Scotland.

Courier News Story

Crusher threat faced by illegal drivers

CAR OWNERS caught driving without a licence or insurance in Tayside could become the first in Scotland have their vehicle reduced to scrap metal.

Tough new powers in the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 will allow officers to put the squeeze on “irresponsible and selfish” motorists.

More than 2000 cases of people driving without insurance, and 800 cases of driving while unlicensed, were reported in Tayside last year.

Now cars can be seized and crushed if document offences are detected—and the region’s top police officer said yesterday a “clear message” is being sent to would-be offenders.

How can we get this passed in the U.S.?

 
It won't happen.....too many selfish self absorbed people to get it passed....some would say good....some would say a pity.....I'm going with a pity..... :)

 
I'm one of those selfish aholes who thinks driving is a right, not a privilege. If it's a privilege, somebody else can pay all the fees. This thread has politics written all over it. I predict a quick closure... :D

Shame on you TWN you insensitive brute! BWAHAHAHAHA

Question for all those that think this is a good idea.........Without looking, when is the expiration date on your Drivers license..... If you can't remember and happen to run over the renewal...... SORRY just crushed your bike...

 
Yeah, but what year???

Happened to me once, busier than hell at work 14 - 16 hour days for several weeks in a row. Got pulled over in a roadside checkstop. License had expired a week earlier and I didn't realize it. Like I told the Officer, "I never look at it, You are the only Guy's who look at it." He let me go with a warning to get it renewed.
