States change their laws so repeat drunk drivers have ignition interlocks installed

[imdying]

They wont have teeth if the issue is not highlighted, probed and annoyed about...

Rubbish, you might remember a certain referendum on violent crime?

Yes dear I do..and back then there was not the "gathering" together of "victims" that there is now, and it happens weekly.

Then and Now are two different places in NZ, as are the start of intiatives and changes that have been and are bought about by victims standing up against the bs thats been dumped on us all. And it does not change anything for these us but helps the people that will come behind us for the battles yet to come. Thats another story anyway..

You obviously have not read the NAAP? This is not the same as a referendum (which I know- wasted millions of tax payers dollers on a 90 something percent vote, and didnt follow through - and the answer for that is? I dont know)

Its a waste of time being negative, and all I do in my role is to assist in pushing for sensible solutions towards reduction of recidivist drink driving.

I wouldnt wish my worst enemy to go through what our three families are, and I hope you never have to face the unthinkable...oh thats right..."It wont happen to you" Right?

Indeed....

Id be very hesitant to employ people that would lend their company car to a repeat drunk driver.
Maybe you need to P.M the thread starter & enquire about raising two wee boys without their dad & the man of her life, im quite sure she would be happy to share.
I get the impression its a tad more inconvienent than having a car confiscated.
You sound kind of selfish not wanting to support a system that may possibly affect you if one of your staff was irresponsible.

The person I replied to suggested that cars be compulsorily confiscated and sold regardless of who the car belongs to.

How is it fair to confiscate a company car? Why should the company owner be punished?

If you lent a firearm to an individual & they shot someone you would be in the shit, Hows this any different?

Up to company to draw up proper agreement with employee....We are talking about second offence....
So would you give a company car to somebody who already been done once....?

Hire a convicted peadophile to babysit your kids?

How is it fair?
Its not...but how is it fair to other innocent road users to have to share the roads with jokers who have been sentenced and disqualified for fair reason, hooning around drunk because theyve been lent or provided a car?

The point you raise begs the questions: What Role does the Workplace have in its share of responsibilitiesfor drink driving?

If you have someone disqualified, driving your car drunk and dangerously, how does this reflect on "your" company?

Its a second offence scenario, and so there would have to be a contract signed on offering of the car as part of the position.
