waitwhatno posted:Here in Germany, after your license is suspended for DUIs, you need to pass a psychological/medical exam(commonly known as the "Idiot test") to get your license back. The physician is mainly trying to find out what the gently caress is wrong with you, why you are constantly drunk driving and if you have a chance of improving. I agree. Indiscriminately applying the same treatment to every case regardless of surrounding circumstances is a silly thing to do. It's evident that the already fairly devastating punishment most states have in place only has a limited potential as a deterrent. Interlocks help, therapy helps, rehab helps, providing free alternatives to driving helps a poo poo ton (think hourly night buses). Long-term revocation might be worth considering for people who can be considered repeat offenders, but I don't think irredeemable lifetime revocation can ever be seen as a good solution, even given the reckless endangerment DUI poses. quote:I think if you blow over the legal limit (0.08 BAC) once, you lose your license for life. There is absolutely zero reason why anyone should be driving after drinking that much. You live in some shithole place outside of a city? Go to the liquor store, get your drinks, and invite your friends over. Live in a major city? Walk to your neighborhood bar and have a few there, and walk back home. I think your understanding of the circumstances from which drunk driving occurs is overly simplistic, and your solutions equally so. If you think what you are suggesting will solve intoxicated driving without massive societal fallout you are severely deluded.
