Reply #11: hmm. they did, after all, commit a crime [View All]

one that is potentially fatal to others, right? This is kind of like saying 'sure, shoot your guns in the town square all you want, we won't stop you until you actually hit someone." you can fairly easily predict that someone shooting at random will eventually hit someone, just as you can predict that someone driving drunk will eventually hit someone.

I wouldn't do this, actually, I would simply confiscate vehicles after the third offense in two years, they can have them back when their license is returned. Suspending licenses doesn't work, if people keep their cars, since they will drive anyway. I don't care who's car it is, impound it, anyone stupid enough to let a habitual drunk driver use their vehicle should know their car may vanish.
