Editorialist: Drivers with a large number of demerit points who additionally have been convicted of a serious driving-related offense should either be sentenced to jail or be forced to receive driver re-education, since to do otherwise would be to allow a crime to go unpunished. Only if such drivers are likely to be made more responsible drivers should driver re-education be recommended for them. Unfortunately, it is always almost impossible to make drivers with a large number of demerit points more responsible drivers.
Summary
Drivers who have a large amount of demerit points and were convicted of a serious driving-related offense should either go to jail or receive mandatory driver reeducation. However, driver reeducation should only be available to drivers who are likely to be made more responsible. It is also almost impossible to make drivers with a large number of demerit points more responsible drivers.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
Those with a large amount of demerit points who have been convicted of a driving related offense should go to jail.
If someone is not likely to become a more responsible driver, they should go to jail.
A
Drivers with a large number of demerit points who have been convicted of a serious driving-related offense should be sent to jail.
Because it is nearly impossible to make drivers with a large number of demerit points more responsible, driver reeducation should not be recommended. Thus, they should go to jail.
B
Driver re-education offers the best chance of making drivers with a large number of demerit points responsible drivers.
There is no support for a statement this strong. The stimulus says that becoming more responsible is very “unlikely” for these drivers.
C
Driver re-education is not a harsh enough punishment for anyone convicted of a serious driving-related offense who has also accumulated a large number of demerit points.
Nothing in the stimulus mentions anything about “harshness.” For all we know, the reeducation training could be “harsher”
D
Driver re-education should not be recommended for those who have committed no serious driving-related offenses.
The stimulus says nothing about drivers who have not committed serious driving-related offenses. It could be that reeducation is their best option.
E
Drivers with a large number of demerit points but no conviction for a serious driving-related offense should receive driver re-education rather than jail.
The stimulus does not give conditions for those without a serious driving-related offense. You need to make assumptions for this to work.
