On average, I watch the cops pull drivers off Lake St. street (loading 
their cars on tow trucks)  once a day between Park and Portland--two 
blocks. They are pulled over for other reasons, but lack of a license 
yanks the car. Lack of insurance may also get the car yanked. It's not a 
sometimes thing, but the everyday tedium of police work.
