  1. More and more common. People have no accountability. Why not require a revoked license be turned in to DMV when it is revoked? This person obviously lied to get a rental car in addition to doing drugs and not obeying other laws (seat belt). People like this should be placed on a national database and never be allowed to drive again in any state.
