Was this guy drunk?
Doesn't matter. It shows that there is precedent for suspended licenses when there is a collision.
You make it seem like they can't take away your license for unsafe driving, for some fucked reason.
Your arguments aren't holding up.
Of course it matters. Driving drunk is not the same as driving stone cold sober.
How could you think they are at all comparable?
Well, the US has laws about unsafe driving. Not all unsafe driving is when drunk.
But losing your license is normal for unsafe drivers.
I don't know what you are arguing at this point.
This didn’t look like unsafe driving to me
The fact that they were close to the cyclists that they hit them in an area that has a minimum distance law kinda disproves your argument.
Also you don't have one on whether the licence being revoked as governments retain the ability to take your driving privileges.
So what are you actually arguing, because you see to be in a rut.
