Here's an idea
In Ohio nowadays, if you get caught driving drunk too many times, they'll make you put a yellow license plate on your car. But here's a better idea: why not stiffen penalties for people who actually do drive drunk?
In many European countries, for example, any drunk driving offense means your license is gone AND a three or four month hitch in the local jail. Now obviously I can't prove the two are related, but European countries have drunk driving rates far far lower than the United States. Wouldn't you think twice about rolling home in the car after six beers if you knew you'd be in the dock for a year? I know I would!
