I’m glad that somebody out there finally has the stones to tell a jerk like this to sit down and shut up. New law or not, he’s a terrible driver and a hazard to other motorists and pedestrians. If he was insured at all I’d bet he carried the minimal limits. Ten violations in five years should warrant a permanent revocation of his license. It’s scarey to think he’s been allowed to remain on the road this long.
While I think the law is a good one, I question whether it should be applied retroactively. When states enact various tort reforms, they are never applied to pending cases retroactively. The article mentioned Dr. Dehetre had been violation free for 15 months prior to this one. Should the slate have started at zero once the law went into effect?
Come on, get serious. Of course it should be retroactive. Are we just going to forget his 10 other violations? In my State, he would have already lost his license as an Habitual Offender over a year ago.
I’m not recommending forgetting the other offenses, but he has already paid the penalties for those offenses in jail time, fines, penalties, etc. In many other states he would have lost his license, but ME apparently did not have a steep enough penalty. To apply this penalty retroactively seems a little harsh.
Actually I think it’s a terrible idea. What would probably happen is he woudl cause an accident by having us try to keep from hitting and killing him. I don’t even know if I’d let this guy ride a bike on public streets.
He must have had insurance since the article didn’t say he was cited for driving without it. There are carriers out there that will write anything – for a price! Mommy probably paid the premium. I’m sure the girls will be lining up to get a date with this guy now that the world knows his Mommy still bottle feeds him!
Retroactive is good. He would have already lost his license in my state as well. A few years ago, my wife had 3 violations within a year and a half (the only violations she has ever had.) She got a letter from the state warning her that she could lose her license if she had any more violations. 10 violations is just way too many to have and still be allowed to drive. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

For the right price I’m sure he could find a carrier. What that price would be, well that would be interesting.

He should be under the jail. What an idoit. It is always someone else that is to blame. Must be from a bd home,
