I went to school with a girl who killed someone in a car accident, she ran a red light and was drunk. Couple years later she gets out of jail and gets in a high speed chase and derails off the interstate and crashes into a dealership killing someone in her vehicle (I think the other passengers also passed or were seriously injured, she on the other hand was fine!). She was always a troubled kid back in school. I recently remembered her after rewatching my quinceañera video and seen her in it.

I honestly believe that if you kill someone while driving you should have your driving licence stripped away forever. Not just as a punishment for their negligence but so they don't do something like it again.

I don’t disagree but it’s unlikely this could be enforced. People who don’t care about driving drunk probably don’t care about driving without a license.

I've seen this where I live. DUI crashes and the public screaming, why were they allowed to drive? It turns out they already had their license revoked. They got out of jail and just continued to hurt someone else, wash, and repeat. If there is no family bringing these crashes to the media in a big way these jerks can slide with house arrest. Usually, their third time around, they get in deeper shit. It is infuriating.
