    I’m so confused by this situation.

    From the article, it appears that he exists in a perpetual liminal state between having and not having a license, state id, and driving privileges.

      I’m very confused as well.

      Harris had never had a driver’s license—only a state ID—and in fact had had his driving privileges suspended last year.

      How can you suspend someone’s driving privileges if they never had them in the first place?

        You are conflating the license itself with the privilege to drive. The answer is you can suspend the driving privilege regardless of the current or past drivers license issuance. This would prevent any new license from being issued even if they were otherwise eligible. Happens if you get caught driving before you pass your driving test all the time.

    That’s good. Sometimes people make mistakes, and sometimes people should be able to rectify those mistakes. Good for him!

    That story quickly turned on him and all the wounded snowflakes who were saying he was the victim shit up and crawled back in to their bubble.
