Drunk Driving

Out in California, a member of the People in the Majority Party (PIMP) has proposed a law to require those who have been convicted of a second DUI to purchase (at great cost) and display on their vehicle, a red license plate with "DUI" imprinted on it. This is a truly silly idea.
I'm a firm believer in the concept of a second chance, but that should be it. I would suggest, if a person is convicted of a second DUI, his/her driver's license should be permanently revoked and his/her vehicle should be impounded and sold to pay all fines and costs of rehabilitation with any excess being donated to a non-profit group such as MADD. If that former driver is ever caught driving again (drunk or sober) he or she should be imprisoned for five years. After release, if the former driver is caught behind the wheel yet again, he/she should be imprisoned under the prevailing three strikes law.
Let's be serious about getting drunk drivers off the road.

We agree with you, with Thaddeus holding the minority opinion. He loves to party!
