Yellow License Plates for DUI convicts?
San Diego DUI attorney news
The Seattle Times reports that a DUI bill has been introduced in Washington state that would require convicted DUI / D.U.I. offenders to use fluorescent-yellow license plates for a year after their DUI driving privileges are restored. The DUI bill’s sponsors see the license plates as a means of informing DUI law enforcement that the driver has a history of DUI / D.U.I.s, and a signal to other drivers to “give a wider berth” to the potentially dangerous DUI driver — not to mention providing an added disincentive for would-be DUI / drunk driving. Though whether the threat of public embarrassment serves as a good enough incentive to change DUI behavior remains to be seen.
