Bill would allow drivers with traffic debt to keep license

ANNAPOLIS, Md. —Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh is backing bipartisan legislation that would allow a driver who owes a traffic debt to keep their license.

Paying a traffic ticket is not always high on the priority list -- sometimes people put it off to pay other bills -- but if you don't pay it, the consequences are severe. Frosh said Wednesday that tens of thousands of people get their licenses suspended because they didn't pay a ticket or fee.

Jason Butler, of Baltimore, spent a month in jail for driving with a suspended license. He initially got a traffic ticket for failing to signal. When he didn't pay, the fine and court costs mounted.
