Police are targeting drink drivers by following them, and visiting them to warn them that they will be caught.
Apparently some drink drive offenders can not give up their addiction to being behind the wheel, even after their driving licence has been suspended.
Targeted Police enforcement may seem intrusive. But if it saves lives, it may be the better option as it is "quite within the law". It takes a lot of fines and enforcement to convince a culture that demands "real blokes" demonstrate their value by continuing to drink and drive after society has told them they are putting lives at risk.
People who do not respect our driving laws threaten the lives of our children, our parents and our selves. But is this the best solution to the problem? Is it pushing the police into a style of policing (concentration on repeat offenders) that may divert resources insofar as detection and response go? How quick can the police respond to a burgulary? Faster in the places a repeat drink driver lives.
Those affected need only give their cars away to a friend, and ask them, in exchange
