Drivers With Deadly Records Still On the Road | Bakersfield News

It’s wild out here—California’s DMV is letting drivers with DUIs, fatal crashes, and vehicular manslaughter charges keep their licenses. Nearly 40% of those charged since 2019 still drive. One trucker killed a motorcyclist in 2021, then less than a year later killed a woman. Families like Loren Chow’s—whose wife died in the second crash—say the system fails them. Another widow, Darian Johnson, lost her husband to the same driver, who falsified logs and drove dangerously for years before his license was revoked. The DMV claims it reviews cases, but delays are deadly. It’s a broken system that demands urgent reform. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
