Isn't there someone like this in every town in the country?
I wouldn't be surprised if half of the people who lost their license are still driving. Losing your license in the first place, is not a sign of good decision making.
Loss of licence in a city built exclusively for car based transport isn't going to be very successful in keeping people from driving
Yeah, the drunks with several DUIs.
This was me for 8 years. I had multiple driving on suspended in multiple states. Finally paid everything off, which was a LOT of money, and got my license back. If you don't have much money you really don't have much of a choice if you live in a rural area.
Which country?
Guelph is in Canada.
I was taking a jab at their "the country".
Well I almost said the world, but figured a pedant would come correct me about a specific example...
And boy you got one
Of course you did. And that specific example would've been still on this planet.
My town has several, they generally use their riding lawnmower instead of a car though.
Maybe if every town in the country has properly funded public transit that was safe and reliable, we'd see less situations like this.
My city's of public transit is a joke and we wonder why there's so many drunk drivers. Can't even sleep off the booze in your car without getting a DUI from some dickhead cop.
