The comments on this post defending the driver seriously alarm me. There is no reason to excuse this kind of behaviour regardless of where the driver lives. If they don't have public transit she can damned well walk! No one's life is less important than her driving privileges. People have a RIGHT to life, it is a PRIVILEGE to drive. Get your heads on straight!
While I agree with you in principle, work may not be that easy to come by.
I used to live ~6 miles from the nearest business. If I had to pick between endangering other people and being thrown out on the street, the choice is obvious. I imagine most people will make the same choice when it comes down to it.
I mostly agree. Ideally we would end car dependency first so that driving can truly be a luxury and not a necessity, but that isn't happening so if someone doesn't respect our traffic laws we still need to take their license away.
