[NoRegrets]

All good points but I respectfully hope the bill fails to pass. Writing a law, on a law, that pertains to a previous law will result in unexpected results that create more harm than good to people that have a simple or first accident. Chronic offenders will never pay a big enough price or penalty to victims or society nor will any law control their harmful activity.

Based on many posts it looks like "booze" is the problem so let's go back to prohibition to insure we all will be safe and secure in a bland world. It was first a speed problem that “we” addressed. I am saddened to think that we now need to continue to legislate everything out of our lives until we achieve nirvana. (just joking about the booze and prohibition!!!!)

Address the problem when it occurs and use a “three strikes and you are out” approach. This suggested approach could end up with more and more conditional laws that never address the initial problem. It will generate a revenue stream for trial lawyers and make policy makers “feel good” about their political career by protecting society with paper.

We all make choices and need to "man up" to the consequences of our actions. The legal system has allowed those with power (money is power) take advantage of and even mock societies punishment. This is one fallacy of yet one more law.

Now we are calling for harsher punitive punishment that crosses into multiple aspects of life. Throughout time man has been very creative at developing punishment. Why not forbid someone from purchasing or using gasoline once convicted of a boating, auto, snow mobile, or RV crime? We can install a RF chip under their skin that disables all gas or electric engines. All we would need to do is have all manufacturers build in a "kill" operation on all devices. Some states already force the installation of “blow devices” to detect alcohol DWI /DUI offenders’ automobiles.

Looking forward to another safe boating sesson on the big lake!!!!
