I’d be surprised if only 75% of suspended drivers continue to drive. I’d expect that to be 90% or more (at least for those aged 21-65).

Drivers ignore the suspension because the chances of being pulled over are extremely low.

I’m not a crazy driver, but I am usually moving with a purpose and get pulled over about once every five to seven years. That might be 40 or 50K miles between stops. Someone can get a lot of life things done in 50K miles and finding alternatives for each of those miles may rationally be less appealing than fading the risk of being caught while suspended.

If your license plate is flagged as being associated with a suspended license, I suspect your rate of being stopped will increase significantly. In my area, the police blotter is filled with ALPR hits triggering traffic stops due to suspended license. Good!
