DENVER - It's a state audit report that maybe you don't want to read. There are as many as 225,000 unlicensed drivers in the state.
Those numbers are now being released by the office of the Colorado State Auditor in a performance audit entitled, "Problem Drivers and Traffic Fatalities."
The audit was ordered after a September 4, 2008 crash in Aurora, in which an unlicensed driver is accused of speeding through an intersection, hitting another vehicle, and ultimately killing 3 people, including a 3-year-old boy.
Carole Walker of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association says now is a good time for legal drivers to double-check their insurance coverage, to make sure they are covered against uninsured drivers.
Some of the audit recommendations range from vehicle and license-plate impoundment...to marking vehicles that have been driven by individuals without valid driver's licenses with stickers.
In the meantime, for those driving legally - driver beware.
