The dispatch came back with "yes, it's suspended" and I was also given a "Driving on a Suspended license" ticket which I now need to go to an arraignment and plead not guilty to and probably agree to a lesser charge, pay the fine just to get it over with, and drive the 365 miles back home. If my son wasn’t with me to take over driving, the car would have been towed and I would have been arrested and Arraigned on the following Monday. Whew… What a system!!!
