Tougher penalties needed for bad drivers

Dear Sir,

Your article, “Premier to address issue of road deaths”, does not really inspire too much enthusiasm.

If there ever was a case for “the penalty fit the crime”, this is it. How about this for starters:

n Convicted drink-drivers receive a five-year suspension from driving all vehicles and must complete 60 days community service.

n Speeding at more than 60kph carries an 18-month suspension and 30 days community service.

n Driving while disqualified for those offences means the penalty is doubled.

I bet this catches someone’s attention.

While we’re at it, make class F the largest private vehicle one can own. Start reducing these uber-monsters off the road. — CHUM LINE
