Well, literally about the best plan ever.

Ukraine war: Latvia sends cars seized from drunk drivers to help Kyiv https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64903201


Caught drinking, lose your car and it’s sent to the Ukraine !

We’re not a fan of the Russians so it’s a win win.

Seems to have taken them off-guard just how many cars they were confiscating, which I found unusual, but yeah win/win as far as I can see.

Now this is an idea I could get behind if it were to be implemented in this country.

Awesome! Great plan and absolutely should be implemented here.

Add in dangerous driving too.

Be a great way of reducing the number of cars on the roads and help a good cause too.

Did you not see the elite irregular forces of Ukraine early in the war? A Jazz or a Micro would be an ideal firing platform for them.

Well if we did it in the UK, added in drug driving , I suspect no one in the Ukraine would ever need to buy a car again.
