There is no Right to drive so let’s drop that.

If someone is driving drunk/high repeatedly, you may never know it until they kill someone.

“you may never know it until they kill someone.”

It can be known. It is known. Someone always knows.

The problem isn’t detection and apprehension, it is the court system. I know someone that has 7 DUIs. He is still walking the streets and has spent a mere 60 days total in jail. He even killed someone in one of his wrecks. Got that 60 days for it.

I never inferred there was. In fact, my arguments are completely in line with the idea that driving is a privilege that is subject to licensing and revocation for bad driving.

Some idiot driving from the ‘burbs into the city for their job that cannot seem to keep their vehicle in control while driving drunk, stoned, on a cell phone, or swatting at their kids in the back seat (THAT just happened to my SIL), means they can lose that license to drive, move back to the city, and take the bus or walk to work. There is no right to drive badly and keep the license.
