You’re contradicting yourself, immediately above you say mandatory prison sentence.
For driving after permanent license revocation. That could perhaps have been clearer; consider it clarified.
Let’s start from first principles and see where we disagree:
- Driving is a privilege, not a right.
- That privilege, if repeatedly abused, should be removed permanently.
- Once removed, further driving must be disincentiviced, and if necessary, punished.
- The disincentive/punishment must apply to rich and poor alike.
- It therefore cannot be purely monetary.
If you disagree with any of the above, I’d like to know which, and why. If you agree with them all, what disincentive/punishment do you suggest, if not incarceration?
Putting peope in prison was not the point of my original post; preventing repeat dangerous drivers from harming more people was. I’m absolutely open to alternatives to incarceration.
Do you have some examples of what could be done to minimize harm to victims and, in particular, prevent future crime?
