Ah yes, Denver wants to make the city safe while shielding law breakers. It was poetic justice that the chief was the victim of a hit and run recently.

The state needs to take the lead on this. Lets start with severe penalties for distracted driving even for a first offense. How about a year suspension?

Hit and runs also need to be taken much more seriously. We can debate the merit of measuring a loss of drivers license in decades. In addition there can be confiscation of the vehicle to support a victims fund.

We also need to examine the criteria for getting a license and we can remove the licenses for illegals program.

At the end of the day we need to recognize driving is a privilege reserved for those physically able persons who understand the seriousness of getting behind the wheel. We are all forced to pay for public transportation so there's no reason not to eliminate bad drivers from our roads.
