DING DING DING. WINNER WINNER WINNER.

Yea driving is a privilege, we stopped treating it as such. We treat it like its a divine right. There are a whole lot of people that dont need a drivers license. Multiple DUIs, reckless driving, multiple accidents i mean we could really just start yoinking them for anything. We use to be pretty strict about pulling it after multiple speeding tickets.

Yeah, well, they get released after a few months. And then they buy or get a car and drive without a license... And in some places lacking good mass transit, driving without a license actually makes logistical sense (although is simultaneously terrible idea because when you get caught you're fucked).

And money.

Most laws are for people without enough money. This one’s not though.

its a deterrent AND a punishment in its current form sadly.

And mny people use its status as both to justify its most draconian methods. They say that since prisons keep dangerous people like jeffrey dahmer away from the innocent public this justifies ALL the harsh things we do to ALL criminals. Even the non-violent criminals who were abused as children.

prison time should clearly be about rehabilitation, AND deterrence through protecting the public from unfixable phychopaths but we can clearly see how it isnt about these factors today seeing as how most of the people from the Epstein Files are out and about, most pedophiles grt a slap-on-the-wrist jail sentences, nost of the peoplw who have partaken in thr Palestinian and Sudanese Genocide will probably not be jailed , and most prisons resort to draconian means that if you asked a psychologist about them theyd say these would not rehabilitate a person at all.

What I don't understand is why bars can even have parking lots, it's like the expectation is to drive there, drink and then drive home.

Seems also that better zoning laws and less car-centric sprawl would make the bar, on average, closer to home. (Not my insight; aped from NotJustBikes' video on third places.)

Tax alcohol sales and earmark it for public transportation. Use late night busses, espically on non 24 hour Rail metro routes

It's not supposed to be a deterrent. It's supposed to be a place for rehabilitation.

You're not supposed to be able to leave prison until after you've received sufficient hours with a therapist to make you fully understand the harm you've caused others, empathize with the victims, and decided to correct your ways

almost as smart as letting them continue to drive after demonstrating the poor impulse control that got them in trouble in the first place.

roadside executions? lop off a finger every time they're caught? a whole bunch of bad ideas, but letting them continue to terrorize the world doesn't seem like a smart tract...

The drug rehabilitation center that got bought by the PE company, that sells the devices and services to law enforcement probably. Those little blow devices are big business! We get the same amount of drunk drivers, the state gets an extra revenue line, and a few companies get incredibly rich. Yay crony capitalism and regulatory capture.

As long as whenever they complain about the vehicle they are told very firmly that it's nerf or nothing

Much respect for thinking outside of the box. How do i elect you to politics.

The main issue with this is that the interlock devices fucking suck and break constantly. We just tolerate it because convicted drunk drivers aren’t exactly a politically popular group.

Fuck that shit. I’m sick of this nanny shit and i don’t even drink.

OK. So what did you change and what solutions would you offer politicians wanting to address this problem without getting kickbacks from the prison industry?
