Online news is so terrible these days... I have seen a handful of the same story, and I have yet to see any of them really comment on BC's criminal justice system. How does anyone anywhere in this country get more than a few drunk driving convictions? I don't know how far off the pulse I am, but shouldn't someone get a life sentence after, say, 3 convictions? How many people want these sorts of people out in society who prove multiple times they will be a danger to everyone?

Pretty sure in some provinces you get an (breathalyzer) ignition interlock put on your car after your second or third and it lasts a long time. If you bypass that or are still a hazard, license should be revoked.

Driving is a privilege, not a right.
