I just don't understand the arguement that some of you are making- if the number one priority is getting drunks off the street; why not take action? Heck- my "more taxi licenses" will be revenue positive from a public standpoint.
As somebody who had a family member suffer at the hands of a drunk driver, wouldn't you want something in place to allow the next family to avoid having to go through the same thing? You've already said that the programs in place don't seem to be working. Why not try something new?

Enough action has been taken through the education programs. And there will never be enough that you can provide for some. What is needed is action on behalf of those who are doing the drinking. We have done enough, it is their turn to step up and implement some actions so they are not on the streets when they are under the influence.
Cry me a river, I am fed up!!! I have had it with the suggestions that education is not working, let us try something else. The onus should be on the DRUNK DRIVERS, not the INNOCENT PUBLIC.
It is the innocent public who alll too often pays with their lives for the discretions of those who wish to drink but not take plans to get home after they drive.
