Deadly drivers: Police, courts can’t keep up with illegal drivers

It starts with the "suspended shuffle."
The driver pats jacket and pants pockets when asked by a police officer to produce a license.
"That's when I ask, 'Are you suspended?' and they say, 'I shouldn't be,'" said Trooper M.D. Okuley of the Virginia State Police. "That's not the answer a valid driver usually gives."
