This week on Radio NL News Mornings with Jeff & Bill: Stricter penalties for out-of-province drivers on Highway 5
“If you’re not from here… That suspension doesn’t really impact you. By the time they get around to doing that, it’s usually after the ticket’s gone unpaid or after it’s been paid, a few weeks have passed, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles reviews your driving record, they then cause a letter to be generated which has to be mailed to you… then the prohibition goes into effect…”

…Kyla on the Jas Johal Show: Is our judicial system lacking in support for repeat offenders for impaired driving?
“…they have been failed by the system. You get to conviction number 20, this being 21, the system has not recognized what your actual needs are. Jail is not going to deter you, if you’re getting a 5 year sentence, you’ve already done time in jail that’s been in excess of a year. If you’re racking up 20 convictions for impaired driving, you’re on a lifetime driving ban, so prohibiting your driving licence is not going to change your behaviour… We need better supports for those who struggle with addiction issues in the criminal justice system.”

So what is necessary… is this consistent, visible enforcement.”
