Drunken drivers are recking havoc across Canada to
the tune of 4 deaths a day and 200 injuries daily.
How would you confront this problem?
Some persons have suggested life long suspensions
for repeat offenders, but would that stop a person
from driving illegally without a license?
I have heard that some states impound the driver’s
automobile for a period of time, which makes a good
deal of sense to me, but if the driver has more
then 1 vehicle there is no deterrent.
Another suggestion is using a special locking system where known offender have to breath into an analyzer before the ignition switch will work, but again this could be bypassed by a technologically savvy individual.
Is anything short of jailing drunken drivers for lengthy periods of time going to work?, because every year the situation seems to be getting worse.
One man who had been drinking killed 2 little girls playing on their front lawn got an 18 month jail term.
Fines have never made any significant difference in offenders habits and neither has educational advertisements.
So what would you suggest and enforce if you had the power to get rid of this scourge on our society?
Keep the faith.
