    In Canada we see cars hitting buildings much more often than buses hitting buildings. There are likely multiple reasons for that, but one factor is surely that the number of drunk bus drivers speeding down the streets is much lower.

    Obtaining a driving license is too easy and losing it is too hard.

      I doubt that there are less drunk bus or truck drivers.

      But drunk driving in general should result in getting the license reworked for at least a year.

        I doubt that there are less drunk bus or truck drivers.

        This seems strange to me. Why do you doubt this? Even if bus / truck drivers drive drunk at the same rates as car drivers, there would be less drunk bus / truck drivers due to the numbers.

        The absolute number is whats important because each drunk driver you add is extremely dangerous to society.

        Also if society moved away from car driving, the loss in car vehicle miles traveled would not be compensated for by equal increases in truck / bus vehicle miles traveled because trucks and busses aggregate many trips together.
