Unfortunately, cameras take pictures of front license plates, which most Connecticut vehicles do not display.

Such crashes account for an average of 8,400 deaths a year. About one out of four illegal drivers involved in such accidents had received three or more suspensions or revocations in the three years prior to the fatal crash.
