Wow... how did you get that drool-covered keyboard working again? Or did you get a new one and cover it in plastic this time?

Yeah, I've racked up a few of those as well. Fortunately, my company thinks I'm such a swell guy that I can simply expense them. Most rental companies just add it to the bill.

Oh, I agree - I don't want anyone driving anywhere near me with a suspended license, either. Not because I think that necessarily indicates they are bad drivers, but more because their insurance no longer covers them. If one of them tags you, you're "it" - on your own. I suppose that's what my "uninsured motorist" coverage is for, but still...
And I still think if the numbers are really anywhere near that high, that it indicates more of a problem with over-the-top enforcement than actual drivers. For the life of me, I just cannot believe that on any given day up to 20% of those sharing the road with me are unfit to do so. I just don't see it.
