Yes. I have a family member that had his license suspended for a DUI. He couldn't drive to work as a contractor legally (and a bus wasn't an option, and he couldn't bring his tools if it were), so he had to drive without a license. He was then pulled over for driving a beat-up van to a job in a very nice neighborhood, and BAM, more debt and more legal problems. It's a law that is hell-bent on punishment, and that's all.
