Random Irritations

You only need to look at the US to see that it's not deterrrent.

My objection to capital punishment lies on the grounds of where do you draw the line? Some heinous crimes may seem obvious. But what about something a bit less serious. And a bit less serious than that. And so on. If you think that line can be drawn, then please say, with certainty, where it is?

Shoplifting! For that you get one hand amputated. A second offense gets the other one cut off. Anything more serious than that and it's a lethal injection or electric chair. And the biggest advantage of this would be that reoffending rates would be almost zero. (y)
 
Drink drivers in the local pub, seems to be rife where we live.

I'll add mobile phone using drivists.

If you are behind the wheel, you are driving! Phone should be in a pocket, glove box, on a holder etc. not on your lap or between your legs OR IN YOUR HAND!!

If you are stuck in traffic, you cannot use your phone!

If you are at a red light, you cannot use your phone!

6 points for the last 2! stuck in traffic and check a text? 6 points!! GOOD!! Lots of research showing the time taken for the phone distraction to have left, also you are not keeping your eyes on whats going on around you, pedestrians crossing between traffic, cyclists/moto filtering etc etc etc...
