First of all No sympathy! It was either a concious choice that was made or just lack of caring about the law. Seems to be a common thread of late suspended drivers driving impaired and they just keep doing it repeatedly.
The roads are crazy enoungh with drivers not giving due anything these days to have to deal with uncaring drunks behind the wheel. I say once a driver starts this repetitious behaviour remove their ability by removing their vehicle! Then their next offense is mandatory prison at such a level that its not worth it to drive… i.e. what would they recieve for killing someone? Realistically it’s a high possibility everytime they drive drunk so why not 15~25yrs???
Im just tired of ppl not paying attention with several near collision on a 4lane hwy even a transport one time they just try to pull into your space without looking! ! ! When we get OPP failing roadside screening while ON DUTY theres a major problem….
