Yellow DUI plate proposed

[KenP]

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

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.
