How many times does a dog bite someone before you put it down? I totally agree, the 4th shouldn’t. The second should.

I think a person should be able to get a driver’s license after 4 DUI ‘s if he/she has paid all fines and done everything the law requires of them. The fourth shouldn’t be a life sentence!

I have no sympathy. Did you really come to a bicycle advocacy website to convince us your life is too hard to live without a car?

I have 4 DUI convictions. the last one is from 1993.

I have served my time in jail- completed all the programs- and been clean and sober for over 16 years now. I would say- from someone who has been there – that harsher penalties for the 1st dui would be more effective, as my jail and programs are what made me see the light- That and the Grace of God. But I am now at 51 years old and quite frankly, with the economy and the bus/transpoptation system I am afraid that I will not be able to support myself if I cannot get the opportunity to drive ever again. The breathalyzer on ignition is fine with me- i do not drink, but life is a long tiume and I am not the same person I was 16 years ago. For anyone out there that thinks it is easy in FL to get around without driving- I say – try oit- I feel I am putting my very life in danger at some of the busstops I have to wait at- people try to pick me up and sell me drugs- I am old now and the young scare me. I realize I put myself here— but I am scared and unsafe walking and waiting for the bus.

I strongly vote yes for the HB 971 bill. Alot of convicted dui offenders have seen the bitter harsh actions of driving drunk. Also I know alot of convicted dui 4th time offenders that totaly quit drinking all togeather and some has been sobor for at least 15 years.. myself I’ve been sobor for 8 years now, I never killed any one nor hit any body.- thank god! So instead of voting against dui offenders, give people like myself that last chance. I’m ashamed of my pass I never had parents who were stright. So I grew up with alcohol, it took me 40 years and 3 years of it spent in prison. I took Tier 1 to Tier 4 programs was when I finally under stood my issues…. God Bless you all.

Estimates are 200 times for every 1 arrest.

“Fasano points out this bill is helping people who violated that privilege not once, not twice, not three times, but four times. ”

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

This is helping people who were CAUGHT four times. No, wait a sec, this is helping people who went to court and were actually convicted four times! They must have got caught more than than that, and they must have violated the law hundreds of times. To get all the way to four convictions, you must be driving drunk almost every single day.
