Why Was Dangerous Driver Still on Roads?

In 1993, Steven Mead was banned from driving for life after he killed a woman while he was driving drunk. But as the Orlando Sentinel reports, DMV records show that didn’t stop him from driving or racking up other violations.

Omar Kudra is still recovering from traumatic brain injuries he suffered during the accident. So how did Mead slip through the cracks?
