I think giving someone who stops and reports themselves an option of taking a cab ride home... on the whole I think that’s not a bad option. Here’s somebody out there driving drunk that realizes they that they are dangerous. So they have an option of stopping— having realized that they’ve made a bad judgment— but have a chance to fix it. They can stop and call some cell number. It doesn’t have to be (and probably shouldn’t be) 9-1-1, but it could be something where they get a cab ride from wherever they are and they don’t have to fear a DUI if they do it.
They pay for the cab ride. They pay for the cab ride back the next day to pick up their car. I think this would be better than having so many drunks out on the road every night.
I agree with you, but I'd be willing to foot the bill on the first taxi cab.
(I've had my health permanently destroyed by a drunk driver and it's personal for me).
Prevention, prevention, prevention. If it takes free taxi rides for drunk drivers, so be it. Better than a life of back pain for some unlucky victim.
