Brief: A Penn. man went to the doctor about a cardiac related issue and when the doc asked the usual questions, do use drugs, do you use alcohol, do you smoke, the man confided that he drank about a six pack a day. The doctor after completing the visit and sending the man home, contacted the Penn. DMV and commented that he may be a hazard to the roads. The DMV revolked his license. The aftermath is that, after suing to get his license back, the judge stated that if the man doesn't have the common sense to stop killing himself with alcohol, then he doesn't have the common sense to not be a driving hazard. The judge allowed the man to have his license only if he paid out of his own pocket (over $1000) to have a device put into his car that would not allow him to start the car unless his BAC was .03 below the legal limit.
