I repeatedly hear stories of drunk drivers who have had five, six or seven DUIs and have long since lost their driver’s licenses. What’s keeping them off the roads now? Nothing.
Drunk driving is on the extreme end of driving violations and doesn’t fit very well into the point I hoped to make. This type of violation falls into the realm of criminal activity that warrants the booking other posters recommended in general.
How about we toss out all traffic violations that have anything to do with minor infractions? Without a ticketing system, it would be extremely expensive if not impossible to process the volume of driving misdemeanors that occur daily.
If a ticketing system is needed, certainly we’re not going to provide our birth certificate or SS# to enforcement — how would Obama get ticketed? Home address is meaningless. Maybe a voter ID card, whatever that might be, could be used.
