SMOKE A JOINT, LOSE YOUR LICENSE
Editor -- I'm appalled to discover that AB 2295 would suspend a person's
drivers license for activities done while NOT driving. It would require the
Department of Motor Vehicles to suspend or delay the license of any person
for six months upon receipt of a court abstract showing that the person was
convicted of any specified controlled-substance offense.
Driving while under the influence is already an offense. What a person does
off the road should not be linked to having a license to drive.
