Senator Leland Yee of San Mateo wants to pass a law that would revoke the license of a person who is convicted of more than a few driving under the influence charges. He says he is shocked that there is no upper limit to the amount of DUI’s a person can get and still get back their driver’s license. Right now, first time offenders lose their license for four months and a third time offender loses their license for three years. The more DUI’s a person gets, the longer they have to wait to get their license again. Besides losing your license, you also have to pay court fees, higher car insurance rates, attend alcohol education classes and go to jail. Even with all these penalties, the Senator still believes that we are letting DUI offenders off too easily.
The article mentions a DMV report that claims that the more DUI’s a person has, the more likely that person will be arrested again. After getting more than a few DUI’s, it is likely that you may have an alcohol problem and it is best to take alcohol education classes or go to rehab before you get into an accident that injures or kills someone.
