Unlicensed drivers: a large and growing problem in Virginia

In the report from our local Delegate from Herndon, there were some sobering statistics concerning unlicensed drivers.  According to the 2/13/09 “Rust Report,” there were about 60,000 convictions of persons without operator’s license in Virginia last year.  It is a significant problem with public safety ramifications.  Persons who have never had an operator’s license are 4.9 times more likely to be in a fatal accident than those who have a license.  At ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd., our Herndon Reston area law firm has in the past and is currently pursuing injury cases on behalf of clients injured by unlicensed motor vehicle operators.  If you or someone you know has been hurt by an unlicensed driver, someone who has not committed to following the “rules of the road,” contact us at once.
