Instead of impounding cars, why not impound the drivers (commonly known as imprisonment)? It's not as if the car has committed an offence.
I remain vehemently opposed to impounding and confiscation. This amounts to theft, nothing more, nothing less.

I think the way the system works now is not too bad for low range convictions. (.05/.099)
High range convictions should be a lot harsher, including car impounding/jail time, I just think .053 is a lot different to .153. especially when you can still drive in W.A at .08. Just my thoughts guys.

No doubt about it, this place is always good for a giggle when the subject turns to matters of a legal nature!

It is a silly rule to introduce. Punish the driver not the poor outer suburban family that is ****** when they lose the car.

I am happy to see that the Vic State Gov is taking a hard stance on drink drivers. I do not feel sorry for them one minute.
The only issue I have is that no education will be put in place to teach people about drink driving. One thing I hate about this country is the culture of young people drinking to they drop. I think more education about drinking in general should be taught in schools. We need to move on from, Alcohol is the only way to have fun. If you are the owner of the car and you had lent your car and it has been impounded, you can get it back. |

One can steal a car and go driving flat out, without any bother to such a thing as having to deal with getting a car crushed as well.
That car crushing law is just moronic. I hear idiots flogging the hell out of cars, doing burnouts up the road from my place and somewhere over the hill. Some nut was going for it like 30min, it sounded like a LS1 and it was on the rev limiter mainly all the time. I though it must be a stolen car with some full on drug'o nut at the wheel. |

Waking up after a heavy night on the sauce with the need to chew your arm off so as not to wake up the opposite sex laying in the bed next to you is a head clearer but doesn’t really stop you from doing it all again. Now if for example they lined you up with someone of the same sex that may change their drinking habits forever.

I hope everyone who isn't aware wakes up to what is essentially taking place here, in the broader scheme. Distrust in everyone. The greater implications affect everyone in some aspect or to some degree, whether they realise it or not.
Drink driving is in fact a very minor part in what is being enforced here. Please wake up, everyone who hasn't. |

I think for repeat offenders, they should take their car, crush it and make beer cans out of them. Then put a photo of their car on the beer can and give it back to them. Before and after.
