4. I don't necessarily think of "driving infractions" as a non-violent offense.

If your driving record is so bad that you go to jail for it, then it may not be safe to let you be out and about.

To me, driving a car can be a dangerous endeavor that requires responsible operators. The life you put in danger with reckless, careless, or intoxicated driving may not be your own. Casualties from car wrecks rival those of gun violence, and have been increasing in the last few years.

Some bad drivers are incorrigible, repeat offenders that need to be held responsible.
