I am tired and disgusted reading about all these accidents and traffic violations involving drivers with suspended licenses. Why can’t we get a law passed that would solve this problem?
Suspending a driver’s license is a joke. It doesn’t stop anyone from driving. We need a law passed that if you are found guilty of DUI, then your car is impounded until your license is returned.
If you have a driveway, then wheel locks are put on the car. No ifs, ands or buts. If the car is in another family member’s name, they are told that if the DUI driver is caught driving, the family member’s car will be impounded, they are fined $1,000 and serve 60 days in jail. The same goes if the car is owned by a friend of the DUI driver.
The only way to stop the lunacy is to pass a law that has teeth in it. Unfortunately, this means we need to have politicians in office who have the guts to do what’s right instead of pandering for votes.
If there is anyone out there reading this who agrees with me, call or e-mail your representative about this.
