  As a disabled person who can't drive, I have zero sympathy for drink drivers losing their licenses. 
  If I, through no fault of my own, have to figure out how to get by without it, they sure af can after putting lives at risk through their own choice. 
  Maybe if we were stricter about this, there'd be more pressure to invest in public transportation.
context: We had a 4 yr old killed in a street racing incident, a week ago. 2 grown ass men in luxury SUVs drag racing or road raging, on wet dark roads, and killed a little boy. >

  The US and Canada both treat bad drivers with kid gloves to the detriment of the victims and their families. There is a saying, that if someone wants to murder you, all they have to do is to make it look like a car accident, then serve only a few months and get released (if they get prison time at all). Pedestrians and cyclists are treated like second class citizens whose lives are worth less than drivers, and that won't change until people vote for city councilors who believe pedestrian lives matter. >
  
  The problem is that we've designed our whole country around using a car so making it difficult to get a license or taking away licenses is cruel and unusual punishment. Driving has become a right instead of a privilege because you cannot function without it. This girl is just another sacrifice to the sprawl gods
  FYI, only 7% of the road space in Amsterdam is dedicated to bikes. That and some moderate density is all it takes to be a world class bike city, but 7% would give the car-brains a heart attack just thinking about not being able to take their lazy-boys on wheels straight to the front door of everywhere they go
