Default Yellow DUI plate proposed
A bill has been proposed to issue 3x DUI offenders to have to purchase $500, yellow plates to distinguish themselves from the rest of us.

Frankly, I don't have a problem with it, but I don't drive drunk. Others are going ape-chit over it.

Penalty Plate Article

Quote:
Get caught driving drunk three times and you?d be the not-so proud owner of a bright yellow license plate under a law proposed by Del. Lionell Spruill Sr., D-Chesapeake.

?With this, you see people with that car and you watch out for it,? he said. ?We?ve got to do something to let everybody know this guy is a danger to society.?

But civil libertarians say the ?Scarlet Letter? approach goes too far and could unfairly mark a car driven by innocent family members. Anti-drunken-driving advocates said it just won?t work.

the military used to give you orange stickers instead of white ones (for the dates) and a m or f.....then when a male drove the m car they would be carded to make sure they were not the person registered to the car.....i thought it was a great idea.....

In Wisconsin that would mean that everyone with the GB Packer plates is a 3X offender? Or would it be every 3X offender is a Packers fan?

Now, lets see if I understand this correctly:

3x DUI
equals

3x the chance of someone killing you, your family, and/or your friends
equals

DARN, THEY MISSED YOU. Buy a yellow plate and try again.

Maybe the idea of one's actions directly affecting or humiliating a family member would actually be an effective deterrent.

Floggings and hangings are good deterrents as well!
Scarlet letters for Adulterers etc

Fawk 'em. Why should they even get to drive at all anymore. Just take their damn licenses away. It's a privilege, not a right.
