Why not just charge everyone for driving period, and be done with it?
All drivers are guilty!
Actually, why not just have traffic cops drive around and give tickets for driving violations? I never see anyone get cited for nearly causing accidents for doing stupid illegal things like weaving from lane to lane while texting, cutting drivers off because they are not paying attention, tailgating, etc etc etc. Why? Because the cops are sitting on the side of the road running radar (OR the other day we saw a cop who was chatting on his cell phone weaving lane to lane etc!).
I don’t really want really drunk people driving, but impaired people are doing things while driving that anyone with any sense will notice. You don’t have to stop them and test their blood. They need to start actually giving tickets to people who are driving wrecklessly whether it’s because they are drunk, or texting or just too stupid to be driving. And when they accrue enough tickets they need to take their licenses away. And if they continue to drive, toss them in the hoosegow. And if they are here illegally....toss them out of the country.
How bout we all start clamoring for a total abolition of alcoholic beverages in Austin businesses.
Wanna here some people scream bloody murder?
Just push a law banning alcohol sold in any bar or eatery.
Then the local government will see the possibility of their tax revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages and lic fees dry up.
Then you'll here’m start waffling.
