As someone who nearly got killed by some pot smoking jerk, driving a truck noless, I'm all for hanging of the idiots with multiple DWI's and/or accident records. The bonehead that nearly took me out had already hit someone in the same year and had tickets the length of your arm. And to top it, the idiot didn't even bother to file an accident report! The only reason I got his licence was because I knew someone, otherwise this idiot would have walk away from it completely, due to the insurance company buffer. As it is, due to the *ucked up justice system in the wonderful state of Ma. I'd have to wait FOUR years to even get a court date. The jerk basicly gets to walk away from his stupidity. As a point, this idiot tried to pull a U-turn on concord ave at nine am. rush hour, in a delivery truck. I was on a motorcycle on his left side which he checked yet turned anyway. I was wearing a helmet thank god, although I had plastic surgery, but I wasn't planted in the vegetable garden. Its like that nine time DWI offender that was released to paralzye that Dorchester priest a while back. I wished the idiots really responsible for letting these jerks out on the roadway, the traffic court judges and the mindless jerks at the motor vehicles department could be held responsible for these dopes on the road. The motorvehicle and traffic cops only exist to keep themselves in money, they do not render any real service until it's too late for some poor accident victim, and at that point its too late. Its purely graft and corruption. Where does the "excise tax" and parking violations receipts really go?? To the "public servants" that are skimming their money off the top, and the political machinery thats taking whatever is left over.
