For what it's worth, he seems to be eligible for a regular license now. The suspension for the reckless homicide (amended to inattentive driving) was 1 year, beginning 8/16/06

Wisconsin is considered the most lenient state in the nation at issuing occupational driver's licenses. WisDOT claims their occupational license program "seems to be working" yet the crash/citation rate for occupational license holders is 0.25 per year: http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/library/research/docs/briefs/02-10occlicens ing-b.pdf But studies have shown that stricter sanctions (like those in New Jersey) do work better: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/People/injury/research/observation_study/conclu sion.htm Wouldn't it be nice, if, when a convicted drunk driver applies for an occupational license in Dane county, they were laughed out of the room and handed a bike map at the door? And wouldn't it be nice if that bike map showed that it was fun and easy to get anywhere in Dane county by bike? So fun and easy in fact, that the chance of that convicted drunk driver driving with a suspended license would be zero? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Wong Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 12:26 AM To: Michael Rewey; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Bikies] Tracy Sorum after Jessica Bullen Astonishing that someone who essentially committed murder through reckless use of a motor vehicle continues to be allowed to drive by those autocentric establishment forces, despite his obvious inability to drive in a responsible or safe manner.
