Bicycle Austin forum

This forum’s roots date back to the original, very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Revoking driver licenses for killers, for longer periods

For years I've opined here that drivers who kill other people through recklessness should lose their driver licenses permanently.  Because as it stands, drivers might get jail time (if that), but usually don't lose their driving privileges, and even if they do, it's for a relatively short period of time.  KXAN reports that someone convicted of intoxication manslaughter faces up to 20 years in prison, but only 2 years of losing their license.

Austinite Tanya Roberts is now pushing for longer de-licensing periods, following the death of her son Colton who was killed by an impaired driver.
