I can deffinatly see how it would work.. it's a visable negative mark.. and this society cares so much how they are percieved by other people...
Not to mention.. let's say someone who lost someone close to them thanks to a DWI driver sees an offender's car in the parking lot.. with that tag.. I'd bet money the driver comes out to a vandalized car.

But :down: to the family thing....

I fail to see how this is an effective deterrent to drunk driving. I'd be in favor of mandatory driving suspensions lasting at least one year, without any exceptions.

get caught for a second dui and you'll know what it's like in CA.

it's actually worse than 1 year in CA.

The reasoning is sound. One of the things most likely to deter would-be offenders is associations with social institutions, i.e. church, work, organizations, and family . Meaning, many people are much more likely to avoid getting in trouble for fear of hurting or disappointing someone close, like family. It's not like they're taking away the family's driving privledges, and it's only temporary.
I agree that the reasoning is sound. Just sucks for the rest of the family. :chuckles:

Most people who get a DUI with a suspended lisence end up driving anyway during the suspension. This plate thing isn't new there are some states that do this from what I understood.
