I have yet to see anyone show that license fees are a revenue source... as a matter of fact every study I have seen shows that typical Motor Vehicle departments are actually a burden on the states. Tickets themselves may be a "revenue source," but due to the few numbers of cyclists actually out on the roads, I would suspect this is a rather limited source of funds.
