SANFORD - When you're driving to work tomorrow morning, take a look at the car in front of you - chances are high that driver has a suspended license and should not be driving at all.

Seminole County Clerk of Courts Maryanne Morse said at any time, more than 50 percent of the drivers on Seminole County roads may have suspended or revoked licenses. In Florida last year, about 17 percent of all registered drivers had their licenses suspended ot revoked, according to Morse's research.

Morse said many people may not even realize their licenses are suspended. Most discover the fault only after they have been pulled over by police.

Morse hopes to net the nearly $1 million in unpaid Seminole County traffic fines by notifying drivers with suspended or revoked licenses they have fines due and fast arrest for driving with invalid licenses. Morse said Seminole County court records show 9,000 drivers with suspended licenses owe $950,000 in unpaid fines from 1988 and 1989.

The postcard states "You are driving on a suspended license which may result in your arrest because you have failed to comply with all requirements of the court. Please bring this card with you to one of the following Clerk of Court offices immediately."

Morse said a test of the program was performed earlier this year with 61 individuals being sent the notices. She said 51, 84 percent, paid their fines.
