To think drunk drivers should lose their vehicles?

[SassyPearlEagle]

Just been reading about Latvia, they've had this law for 3 years and seized over 2,000 vehicles. They're either donated to Ukraine, or auctioned off to raise money for the police - one Ferrari was sold for 176,000 euros.

Why don't we do the same here? Stop pussyfooting around with fines and driving bans, just confiscate the bloody car as soon as the breath test is failed.

My dad was an alcoholic and crazy driver. As a terrified child sitting in the back I used to wish he'd get stopped. Losing his car would've been a quick and effective punishment, I think. So fucking tired of hearing about drink/drug drivers killing people.

Urghh I hate this... sure I know they drink drive buy sure they just go to the shop.
Statistically you are most likely to get into a fatal crash 1 mile from your house.

Sure.. I saw Dave down the road filming kids in the park... but I won't report his peadophilia because sure it's not my responsibility

I live nowhere near them, I am very recently NC with my dad (which is very hard as I love my mum dearly but they are a unit).
I wont be reporting him, and should something happen, I will not have you tell me with some air of certainty that it would be my fault and I should be punished too.
HE is responsible for his drinking and HE is responsible for his driving.

Given what you have said it does not seem entirely unreasonable not to report him as you have limited information and he isnt driving that often

I did look on crimestoppers site as there is a form to fill in to report drunk drivers. The most important thing they want is the reg number, what he looks like, what times he goes and where he goes.
I can not give them any of that.
They would literally have to set up camp outside my parent's house to have any hope of catching him.

They should lose their vehicles AND their license for good.
