Especially considering how often DUI's are repeat offenders, there are plenty of chances to permanently revoke someone's driving privileges with due process. One recent "crackdown" in the law called for mandatory jail time only after the 4th offense. That's a ridiculous number of chances to give someone for something so selfish and reckless.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoNot in Ontario, where RIDE checks take place. Canada has quite strict impaired driving laws. Quoting Wikipedia[1], The minimum sentences are: For a first offence, a $1000 fine and a 12-month driving prohibition, For a second offence, 30 days of jail and a 24-month driving prohibition, and For a third or subsequent offence, 120 days of jail and a 36-month driving prohibition. If no one is hurt or killed, and the prosecutor is proceeding by summary conviction, the maximum sentence is 18 months of jail. If no one is hurt or killed, and the prosecutor is proceeding by indictment, the maximum sentence is 5 years of jail. If another person suffers bodily harm because of the offence, the maximum sentence is 10 years in jail. If another person is killed because of the offence, the maximum sentence is a life sentence.
