But how long should one have drive around with a plate showing they got a DUI or any other crime? My sister in law got popped twice for DUI. The first time it was the usual pay the fine and attorney fees and attend a class about the dangers of drinking and driving and you're done. Her second offense cost a lot more and she received a set of party plates and she had to have them for a year during her probation period. After that she was allowed her regular plates. A friend of mine went through the same thing. The plates are only used during the probation time and are easier to identify by police and allow them to stop and check to see if the driver is in violation. Both my sister in law and friend have not had a drink since and have been sober at least 10 years. When my brother was a young man, he got busted for DUI here in Colorado several times in about a one year period. He lost his license, and spent a week in the county jail. He has been free of alcohol since. That was thirty years ago. |

Whatever works. I will will have a glass of Teeling Small Batch while driving my recliner. I drove under the influence of alcohol once in my teens. 15mph for the short distance home and never again. I had a wreck while I was taking Actifed. That taught me a lesson that there are a lot of things that can cause major impairment. I check myself every time I get in the truck.

DUI concerns a vehicle. Rape, murder, etc. do not. I’m all for impaired drivers getting a (vehicular) scarlet letter at the least.
I’d like to think that rape, murder, child molestation, etc. have their own heavy penalties associated.

You have guys in prison for a bag of weed yet nary a week goes by without a ten time DUI loser finally killing someone. Being a alcoholic is acceptable in this country just watch all the people coming out of corner stores every day with the 18 packs or two bottles of wine or whatever their escape is. Some states have enacted three time loser DUI laws that include prison time. I don't care what anyone uses for their personal escape but it needs to be done at home. The over the limit keeps going down so it hard to even have a couple of drinks over a nice dinner. Why because a DUI costs about 10,000 or more a real money maker for the courts. Maybe if they keep pulling over the known abusers with their special plate the rest of the normal folks can safely run into one anther while they text. I digress.

Swinging back to the question of why in Ohio...
Last week, I watched Ken Burns’ “Prohibition”. The documentary series in a good look at why trying to legislate morals is always doomed to failure. The pertinent part to this thread is that all the major national temperance organizations started in Ohio.

For a long time now I have wondered what brought about the punishment of having to put bright yellow DUI plates on your car if you got a DUI in Ohio?
While I certainly don't condone drinking and driving, there are rapists, murderers, child molesters, and even politicians driving around who don't have to make their transgressions public. Why does someone who has a DUI have to announce to the entire world that they F'd up?
Were it left up to me to decide, pedophiles would be shot and rapists would have their vile deed carved into their head like Aldo the Apache did to Nazis. As for drink drivers having to sport number plates that advertise their misbehaviour? Simply outrageous. If they were habitual repeat offenders who don't give a crap about the safety of other road users however, maybe it's not such a bad idea. |

So not giving a crap about the safety of other road users just one time should be allowable?  As posted earlier, the plates are for either 2 time offenders, or those that were twice the legal limit. |

Your statements, taken together, would seem to indicate you feel endangering the public one time should be ok, but should be punished if done more than once. Why would one time not warrant the punishment in your eyes, but multiple times would? |

Why would one time not warrant the punishment in your eyes, but multiple times would? Do you have a learning disability or other issues that affect your ability to comprehend? This is not the first time that you've been unable to admit that you're wrong. Reread what you said. If you're still unable to see where you put words in my mouth then it would be best that you ask your mummy or other adult to explain as I'm not trained to deal with those with comprehension issues. |

Yes, something was most definelty lost in translation. I sat back to watch this one, just to see how it would pan out.
elric , what I saw was someone poking you a little bit about two separate statements you made. I say poking, because a winking emoji was used. Granted some people can't interpret those any better than the written word, but it would appear that there was no harm intended, nor were any "words put in your mouth", just a question asked of you.
You decided to take it to the extreme, by asking if Stearmandriver had a learning disability. Doesn't take much for me to read that as exactly what it was, an inappropriate personal attack. I happen to take it more seriously because I have family members that have learning disabilities, which you so callously chose to use as cannon fodder.
While you may not be trained to deal with the comprehension issues you claim that another member has, I would hope in the future you are capable of being a little more eloquent in a conversation, instead of using disabilities of other people as an opportunity for you to make your jab.
Consider this a warning to everyone. I'm not going to deal with the sniping shite anymore. It's really not all that hard for a bunch of grown men/women to get along, especially when you DON'T have to deal with them face to face. If there is any other place that is easier to walk away from something, I would be surprised.

That picture was staged for anti-temperence movement purposes. The truth hurts doesn't it. Without alcohol those women would never reproduce.

My aunt is 88 she told my wife that her mother told her to find a man who did not beat her as advice for picking a mate. Alcohol and domestic violence run hand in hand and pretty much a lot of other crime is also caused by the abuse of alcohol. The temperance movement had its backers enough of them to outlaw alcohol. But like anything a idea to prohibit something is never a good idea. I can imagine the woman in that picture were all most likely victims of abuse and in that time period domestic violence must have run rampant. We have a sign on I45 down the road from where I live that gives the number of alcohol related fatality and DUI arrests made on a five mile stretch and the numbers are staggering to say the least.

Thank you, Sparks for stepping in and preventing another "hall monitor moment". We try to get along and sometimes things get mis-interpreted.
