The last paragraph of the article indicates that they have changed that law, and police are now able to arrest someone driving without a license.

I don't know for a fact, but based on how it generally works elsewhere, I strongly suspect the officer could have impounded her vehicle. apparently chose to take pity and allow someone to come get her vehicle- which put her right back behind the wheel probably within minutes of leaving the scene.

I try not to MMQB, but I don't think its a stretch to think an officer could have been swayed by a manipulative 20 year old girl with a sob story, especially if she had herself all prettied up. It happens.

1. I remember seeing the pics of her at the time of the (2nd, and lethal) accident. She did not look too pretty at that time.
2. MMQB? Nevermind.

The police could have impounded the car, the owner let a person take it without a license. Or did I miss that part....never mind, just caught up on the thread...
