Drunken Drivers May Get Special DUI Plates
Perhaps this will have an effective deterrent effect.
A Florida state senator wants to require convicted drunken drivers to have license plates that start with "DUI."
The proposed law would also require bright pink license plates on vehicles driven by people with restricted driving privileges due to convictions for driving under the influence.
"Maybe it will embarrass people and keep them from drinking and driving," State Sen. Mike Fasano said. "Maybe they'll think twice."
The bill also says police "may stop any vehicle that bears a DUI plate without probable cause to check the driver."
Ohio and Michigan have similar laws in place. Other states have debated the issue, but failed to pass it due to privacy reasons.
Perhaps this will have an effective deterrent effect.
