I think it's a good idea myself.
I wonder what happens if you've lost your drivers license due to
previous DUI's though?

jail time?

Sounds good to me.

All sounds reasonable. I wonder how other states handle it.

Not sure, but I think it maybe proposed to be fed. law.

That would suck! More states rights killed. Actually you can lose you
license in California for lots of things not including driving.
Jaywalking
counts 1-2 points. At a light it is 2 points. Bicycle tickets count
points. You could get your 4 points and not be able to get a license
when
you turn 16. Minor with 0.01 alcohol reading. Not near a car.

What about a high-speed chase. See them on TV sometimes.
How many points?
Seems pretty lame to go after a driver's license for non-driving
offenses.
How about non-moving (what we call them in Illinois) offenses.
Broken taillight, for instance.
Don't worry about that California stuff becoming Fed law.
Country won't put up with it.
Don't know why you tolerate it there.

I think some of this DUI frenzy is counterproductive,
If a convicted DUI can get into the same trouble for driving a bike
drunk as driving his car he will drive the car.
I don't care about the drunk but I do care about who he runs over.

Very true. Some years ago, they arrested a guy in a small town near here
for riding his horse drunk. He said the horse knew the way home, and he was
not driving.

Hehe. Reminds me Cat Ballou.
I've got no problem using boating violations against a driver's
license for impaired driving. The other option is to require a
license to drive a boat, and go after that.
But jaywalking and bicycle riding?
Your logic is right on.
