I'm not about to buy some lame excuse that the poor bastard won't be able to get to work. Let 'em walk or take public transportation.

No one stated (or asked) anything about your feelings, my feelings, or even "common sense" (whatever that is) -- the statement was and is true: "judges and juries are reluctant to prevent someone from being able to get to work" and perceive yanking a DL as just that.
