Simple. Easy.

The term "repeat offender" shouldn't exist. It's a gross statement to insist that a punishment wait until someone has done this twice.

You can have your first drinks ever in your life, get behind the wheel drunk for the first time, and kill someone IMMEDIATELY 30 seconds down the road.

FUCK THAT.

When I was 17, I had to be told that the guy who killed the girl I loved when his drunk ass plowed into her head-on at 60+ mph NOT ONLY is alive with just a few bruises, but gets to keep driving until he does it again.

What, you're waiting for him to kill someone else before you stop him??

While my tone and sentiment may be one of personal grievance, and therefore somewhat biased, I don't think there's a person here who could disagree with me and then be able to sleep at night.

This law is incredible. As long as it is a criminal punishment (allows for due process, etc.) I think it should be enacted everywhere.

I had no idea NY city was already doing this- but now that I know, i'm so proud.
