Maybe I misunderstood your other post.

Regardless. Yanking a license for any amount of time on a first offense for, say, DUI (.079) while driving with a burned out license plate light is not just. On top of that add the excessive fines.

All to change behavior?

Speeding is just as dangerous yet I'm gleaning from your post that a monetary fine is just fine for a first time offender.

All dangerous behaviors need to be treated equal in order for legislation to be just.

I do like the DWI for accident while using a cell phone. But again, excessive fine and license suspension do nothing to solve the problem.

As a society, we got MADD's point that drinking in excess and driving do not mix. MADD is trying to stay relevant by piling on one ridiculous law after another.

They are legislating us back to prohibition one bad law at a time.

Using the traffic courts to administer VENGEANCE against people that did nothing to their family and nothing to other families is just plain wrong
