How do you get convicted for a third time (the final time being three times over the limit and struggling to walk) yet not receive a prison sentence? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-36885984
Not to mention only a 4 year ban from diving. Surely a 3rd conviction should be a lifetime driving ban
We're far too tolerant of offences of this nature. Like you quite rightly say a third conviction for drink driving should have carried a lifetime ban.
And a prison sentence ,I know he has drink problems but to then get in a car and attempt to drive he,s a menace.
The first time you are caught drink driving, regardless of who you are, your licence should be taken off you indefinitely and you should serve at least 1 month in prison.
Nope, a short prison sentence and loss of licence should be enough to stop them being stupid enough to put other people's lives at risk.
