Yeah, i don't think we necessarilly have to be paying 2 grand to get a license, but I do think it should be a lot harder to get and a lot easier to lose. There are guys running around with 20 + DUI's and they still have their license. Or people get their license suspended, but are then issued a work-license which lets them drive to and from work.

In germany, your first DUI gets you a bigassed fine, AND you lose your license. And you don't even get your license unless you can demonstrate that you can handle the car at speed in any driving situation that might come up. Here in the states, all I had to do was show I knew to stop at a stop sign, and parallel park.
