At least here in BC, every time you get a DUI the temporary suspension, breathalyser requirement, fines/fees (including a yearly fee that has to be paid before your can renew insurance based on total infraction points) and AA meetings all get increased. The first DUI costs $3000 and 3-6 months without a license, the 5th would likely cost over $15000, 18-24 months without a license, with a yearly fee of $4000 for 5 years. You would also have to do a road test if you didn’t have a valid license over (I think?) 2 years.
True, this saga is not over yet. Although, in the article, they state the drivers licence is three times revoked right now. He does not have a licence already.
How many times do you get to do a thing before it’s decided that rehabilitation isn’t possible?

Apparently six times.
At least six.
Well, five times and then they killed someone, but will they retain their license?

Hopefully he gets prison and a permanent bus pass.
