We read stories like this all the time. Some driver with multiple DUI convictions is back on the road, driving drunk and killing people. MADD lobbies to lower the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 while repeat offenders are out there at five or six times the legal limit. What's the solution? More jail time? Registering DUI offenders in the same way we register sex offenders?
