-
Requires vehicle impoundment if the driver's license is suspended/revoked, the driver lacks valid licensure, or the driver fails to maintain financial responsibility (insurance) requirements.

Removes the redundant provision that listed accident involvement as a separate impoundment trigger, consolidating it into the main condition that an accident must result in property damage or injury.
