An editorial urging the forfeiture of the driver's car if he is convicted of DUI 3d within 10 years.



As far as it goes, I really don't have a problem with that. I find that most of the time when my client is getting his third DUI he is driving someone else's car. However, I do think it should be at the judge's option for those few cases where the equities would favor leaving the car with the offender. ie: Two DUI's 9 years ago and a DUI this year because he was stopped at a yuletide DUI checkpoint and blew a .09, employed, wife also employed, the one car gets both to work, etc.
