No one wants this. At least, no one who thought about what that would mean for more than a few minutes. We built our cities in a way that makes driving a necessity. There's no need to fill already overcrowded prisons with people just because they want to work, or eat, or get medical care but can't do any of those things without a car.
After we redesign our cities to be walkable, and after we've invested in adequate public transportation systems, then maybe you'll find support for stricter enforcement.

- autoexec 3y agoI think there's a good case to be made that alcoholics who can't get sober and won't stay off the road, even though they have viable alternatives to driving, are a large enough danger to society that we'd need too keep them away from the rest of us. Ideally that'd be in a treatment center and not a jail cell though. The trick is making sure there are viable alternatives to driving.
