Molly Davis: Stop suspending driver’s licenses for inability to pay fines and fees

When she first moved to Utah, Lindsey was addicted to drugs. The daily mental battle she faced led her down a dark path, losing connections with friends and family along the way. She committed crimes to support her addiction and struggled on this path for over seven years, desperately trying and failing to get her life together along the way. Four misdemeanors and one infraction later, Lindsey had enough. (Name changed to protect anonymity.)

After a brief prison stay and a drug treatment program in 2017, Lindsey has now been sober for two years — and her life has drastically changed for the better.
