Too many DUIs?

If people practiced drinking and driving more there would be few issues with it. I know some proffessional drinking and drivers and they are very safe behind the wheel. Practice makes perfect!

OK.... so I know of this guy who has had multiple DUIs (over 5) and is still driving his car, going to work. His latest DUI was recently and hasn't gone to court yet because he keeps delaying the court date. When does the St. Mary's court system finally say "enough" and let him do some jail time? When is he no longer able to obtain a driver's license? Does it take someone getting killed to get him off the streets around here?

A judge can impose points or choose to not to assess points to an individuals record. Judges can also reverse convictions upon completion of programs etc. I've seen judges even assess points and fines, and upon completion of whatever send the jjudge a letter to get the conviction nolle prossed.

While I agree that getting a handle on DUI incidents in Maryland is a concern, sadly, the only people who fight for it is MADD. I don't think they don't get the support they need due to the fact that they come off as an anti alcohol group.

Incorrect. Judges do not assess point. As was already mentioned, each type of violation equals a set number of points. If the judge enters a guilty verdict, that is then sent to the MVA. The MVA then assesses the point to the person's license.

So, in other words... You DO think they get the support they need? :duel:

Was talked to by an apparently drunken black man in a white Firebird at Cooks the other night, and he and his passenger appear to be pros. The passenger had a handheld scanner, I imagine so they can hear any calls about them. Woulda called them in, but I'm sure they woulda heard the call and gone into hiding. I have seen this car before, and it's always driven poorly. Now I know why.

And no, I did not take them up on the offer to show me that the 91 Formula Firebird could kick my cars ass right there on RT 5. :coffee:
