If you have multiple DUIs, you should absolutely not be allowed to drive until you’ve been proven sober for a long time (many years). And honestly, even one DUI is enough to remove your driving privileges for years in my opinion. There’s no excuse for driving once you’ve had alcohol. You can just choose not do it, it’s not like you can accidentally drive after having too much alcohol. We should have significantly better public transit, to make this more humane. But so many people drive dangerously and cause huge amounts of deaths. I think a better long-term fix is to have good public transit so that people have better options and don’t feel like they need to drive everywhere.

Without good transit though... And of course this is motivation for drunks to oppose transit, if there is minimal transit the law is more likely to take away a license. Minimal transit of course it so bad you wouldn't use it unless after 5 DWIs you have no other options, and that punishment means everyone else sees no value and so won't vote to expand it. Your city needs a serious transit redesign in favor of getting as many people as possible on because it is a better option (cheaper and not much less convenient). Then get those riders to support expansions. Good luck though.
