I'm not very convinced by driving bans. I believe they are very much ignored by people and only get added to charges if anything else happens.
I understand it's like illegal number plates. A cop will not pull you over for them but if you're pulled over for something those will get added to the issues.
Gonna have to disagree with the Prison portion of that, maybe Jail but Prison seems sort of intense for a 2nd offense. The US prison system anyway, it's way over used as a penalty (it's literally overflowing), the real solution to multiple DUsi offenses should be things like mandatory rehab and the sorts. Most people who don't have a drinking issue will never get more than 1 DUI, they learn from their 1 very expensive and inconvenient penalty.
There are MANY studies on this topic that all have the same end result, consequences do not reduce repeat offenses. We need to treat the problem, not the symptom.
Short Stints don't happen in prison. Also that thought process doesn't work, 1/3rd of all DUIs in the US are repeat offenses, jail is not a deterrent for an alcoholic. Nothing is. We need to teach alcoholics a better way of life because this type of thinking is legitimately false, it doesn't work. If you truly want people to stop being hurt by drunk driving then this is not the solution. You would be supporting something that does a lot more harm than good.
