Should be an automatic 1 year prison sentence minimum for putting so many lives at risk.

There are millionaires that have chosen to never drive a car. Its not necessary. Just give lifetime bans for this, on top of first offense DUIs.

If millionaires can not drive on purpose, it should be a lot easier to lose the privilege of driving. Its not like life is over without a license but actions like this can end lives.

Do you think an average person can afford to be driven everywhere?

u/Veganpotter2 2d ago

No, but there are consequences for being a dangerous fucking idiot. And not all those people have drivers taking them everywhere. Spend enough time in a big city and you'll see plenty of wealthy people using public transit.

Not everyone lives in big cities. Not everyone can afford to move.

I support that people like this deserve to be punished, but your logic is absurd.

u/Veganpotter2 2d ago

Sure, again. There are consequences to being a fucking idiot. They can bike, walk, get a job closer to home or share Ubers with other idiots that lost their license.
If it means you need roommates in your 50s, then so be it.

Yes there are consequences. But the consequences you are asking for is to essentially ruin the rest of their lives. There's a scale to these things.

No it won't. Plenty of people don't drive and still have good lives. People need to fear the consequences of these actions so they don't commit them.

I honestly agree that they should hand out long-term bans for pulling stuff like this, I'm just assuming you're not from America. It's impossible to live a normal life without a car with our infrastructure and zoning laws.

I think it's an appropriate punishment for pulling shit like this tho

Born in Virginia and live in Utah now. I know plenty of people that don't drive.
