Not having a driver's license forces him to commit what is considered a "crime" according to transit law. In addition to keeping Abel and his family in a state of permanent stress and worry, driving without a license has caused him problems with the police. His wife relates,
No poder acceder a un permiso de conducir lo obliga a cometer un acto considerado en la ley de tránsito como "delito", lo que además de mantenerlo a él y a su familia en una situación permanente de estrés y preocupación, les ha provocado problemas con la policía.
