This may be my naive opinion, but more than two counts of drunk driving or any counts of driving (e: drunk) with a suspended license should put someone beneath the minimum qualifications for being able to have a license at all, ever.

You need a license to drive only if you get caught.

Over here people get their license suspended for 10 years and still get caught drunk driving without a license, unless they're put in jail what are we to do?

You need a license to drive only if you get caught.

You need a license to drive, period. It's a rule you agree to follow as a driver whether someone is doublechecking you or not.

The 'It's not a crime unless I get caught' mentality is very troubling, and potentially dangerous, to all the upright people who just want to live in peace.

t's a rule you agree to follow as a driver

so is not driving under influence? Why should they care about having a license if they're going to drive drunk anyway, rules aren't stopping them
