:ghey:

I don't agree with drinking and driving, but you can't punish the whole family if one person gets a DUI. How can you NOT associate with your spouse/kid/parent?

 

:tfg:

I am totally against drunk driving but that is the gheyest thing I have heard

 

Good idea for the offender but not the family.

Law can go fuck themselves if they think I'd put one of them on my car cause my brother was DUI. That's bullshit.
Good thing I'm not in ohio and my brother doesn't drink.

 

Ohio is a crappy state.

 

thats stupid.

 

i'll laugh if 95% of all cars in that state carry one of those :ghey: plates

 

:madfawk:

STFU...almost my entire extended family lives there.

As for the law...
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.

 

It's The Scarlet Letter - LITERALLY - freshened for the 21st century!

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.

 

A very good idea.

 

A wise man once said, "When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow".

The best preventative measure is an iron-clad system of mandatory penalties, regardless of class, employment, race. There should be one law - ONE LAW - that is applied to this, the most egregious motoring violation, where there is no room for bargaining or reduced sentences.

Anything less will not be an effective deterrent.
