The Ontario provincial government has just started enforcing a law amendment that would allow authorities to sell or give away a car owned by a driver that has been involved in drinking-driving at least twice within a 10-year-span.

Drinking-driving has long been linked as one of the major causes of traffic injuries and fatalities, particularly in the young adult age group. In Ontario, about 1/4 of driving-related fatalities are related to drunk drivers. M.A.D.D., an organization against drinking-driving, is estimating that over 1/3 of the motor vehicles deaths in Canada are related to drinking-driving.

Do you think any Canadian provinces/territories will put forward a law similar to that in Ontario in 2008 (regardless of whether or not the law completes its legislation process)?
