That would increase the chances they die in an accident (it's pretty clear they did it to themselves by that point), but decrease the chances of them taking out innocent others. --- End quote --- That would be great, except how do you do that? A former acquaintance of mine had his license yanked after several DUI convictions and he continued to drive. Some people never seem to get the message. |

Here in the UK to ride a motorbike one needs to pass another driving test and there are different levels, which determine the maximum engine size/power output of the motorcycle. |

My point is that not having the proper license doesn't actually stop anyone from riding/driving whatever they want. Driving drunk is already illegal, people who are chronic drunk drivers are less likely to be deterred by a technicality like not having the appropriate license. |

They shoud be constant monitoring of the drivers breath and brain activity. When he starts drinking while driving or fell asleep the car should warn the other cars and stop. |
