OK gang - here's the deal:
The ONLY thing which has been proven over time to "work" as to removing or excluding HBD drivers from the highways is sanction enforced education and court referrals to the original 12 step program.

The basic reason the problem is ongoing is the influx of youngsters from each year group as they age into driving (and inevitably drinking beverage alcohol)

To fix the problem once and for all, it would be necessary to eliminate any new drivers from entering the highway until the reached about age 30. By that time, the problem drinkers would have been identified and educated/treated/sanctioned/ into lifetime sobriety.

Disdain, disgust and disparagement of current offenders is a feel good exercise - does nothing to address the root cause (new children)
