I know of people who had multiple suspensions upon suspensions, and not having a license doesn't stop them from driving. That's why I don't think stiffer penalties will do anything.
In my mind there are two types of drunk drivers; those that always drive drunk, and those that drive drunk due to some lack of planning. The ones who always drive drunk; they are also the ones who show signs of being an alcoholic. They can't have one social drink- they must get obliterated every time they go out.
I know my suggestions I have made will not impact those who are habitual drunk drivers. I'm thinking of getting the guy who is an occasional drunk driver off the road. The bottom line is we want drunk drivers off the road, and judging by the number of people in this thread who have admitted to drunk driving, I would say there are a lot more people who do it than we think.
Let's give some options to those guys. I'm not talking about coddling them, but options that will have a positive impact on everybody. Who here has never been frustrated trying to get a cab- especially during a busy time of year? Who here wouldn't like to have the option of being able to go out with your buddies, and know that there is a C-train waiting for you after all is said and done? Or be able to call a car service without it costing you more than your entire evening did?
