My son got pulled over the other day for speeding. After he was pulled over, the officer said his license was suspended. I was horrified when I learned that he had been arrested and I had to bond him out of jail. Apparently, his license had been suspended for failing to pay a speeding ticket that he received during a road trip in Texas with friends.
