Even more suspensions are likely to come. The Massachusetts RMV says it is"actively reviewing" 4,724 additional cases of open convictions and suspensions concerning serious violations to see whether more driver's licenses should be suspended.

"We have been working hard to ensure that all drivers – commercial and regular – meet state and federal requirements for eligibility to drive and that, if a driver commits a serious offense that affects eligibility for licensure, the Registry expeditiously revokes their driving privileges," Tesler wrote.
In March, three months before the motorcycle crash, a state auditor had flagged nearly 13,000 notifications of out-of-state driving infractions that hadn't been processed. But the auditor testified that she was told by a top RMV official that"nobody" was in charge of entering the backlog.
