I've said it before and I'll say it again: some people's alcoholism manifests this way. It doesn't matter that you take their license away. It doesn't matter that you lock them up for a few months or even longer. Technological solutions like interlock devices don't even work (they're easy to bypass).

Most people who get their first DUI tend to shape up. They take their licks and don't do it again. But too many others won't stop driving no matter what the state does. For this reason, I've proposed legislation that requires that repeat DUI offenders lose not only their license but their car as well. Can't drive drunk if you haven't got a car to drive. There are nuances to this, of course - spouses and vehicles owned by a business, for example - and I've done my best to account for them, as well as to provide penalties for those who knowingly let such a person borrow their car. Here's a copy of the bill:

I've put this in front of Chris Rogers and Mike McGuire. It just makes sense. Contact your local legislators and lean on them to pass the DUI-FREE Act.
