A Real Enforcement Tool

Someone grew a brain at Council Chambers evidently:

• People caught driving on a revoked or suspended license in Chicago could soon have their cars impounded.

  An ordinance to take that action was approved today by the Chicago city council's police and fire committee. A previous, similar proposal failed because the Department of Streets and Sanitation did not have sufficient room for impounded vehicles.

  The new ordinance goes before the full city council Wednesday.

Now will it pass the full Council? Remember, this is going to come down on those who think that driving is a right, not a privilege. And on owners who lend their cars to people who shouldn't be anywhere near a bicycle, let alone a vehicle. This could be interesting.
