    With no return of your privileges once convicted.

    All that does is create the problem of driving unlicensed, so now you imprison nonviolent offenders (assuming they aren’t convicted of vehicular homicide type of charges).

    I understand the sentiment, but the law of unintended consequences rears its ugly head here very quickly.

      what’s nonviolent about having harmed someone while choosing to drive impaired?

      also i 100% agree public transportation should be improved too.

      but it’s disgusting how many times I see folks who have multiple accidents causing harm to others and are still allowed to drive.
