    You don’t need to have a license to have a suspension on your license. I know it’s fucky, but the legal reality is interesting: a "suspended license is a state of legal reality where a person does not have the right to drive, even with a license. No one takes license away; it means that within a state that issued the suspension, your license is effectively invalid.

      In CA they can actually suspend your license if you do not have insurance. CA law requires all drivers to have uninsured motorist insurance, specifically because of all the people wrecking shit without their own insurance.

      I’m pretty sure I heard that you can be ticketed for a lack of uninsured motorist coverage, even if you don’t have a license or a car.
