| B.C.'s Solicitor General has driver's licence suspended
Another elected goof. 
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A heavy foot on the gas pedal has cost B.C.'s Solicitor General his driver's license. John van Dongen has stepped away from his responsibilities for ICBC and the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, after being advised his license has been suspended due to a large number of speeding tickets.
News1130 spoke with Van Dongen first, and he tells us he won't appeal the decision and takes full responsibility for his driving behavior. "I had two choices, I could appeal the decision or I could send in my driver's licence. I had 21 days to make the decision. I made the decision immediately and sent in my driver's licence."
University of Victoria political scientist Dennis Pilon says the license suspension may prove to be a break for the NDP's election campaign. "It's an opportunity for the opposition to the extent that voters think that's something that's important. Of course as we saw with (Premier Gordon) Campbell's drunk driving charge, the public may not see it as being terribly important"
Pilon says the incident may even give van Dongen some sympathy votes.

He manned up and surrendered his license. Good for him.

see, this is the difference between the left and right.
everyone makes mistakes in life, but it's how you deal with them that shows your character.
when a person on the right makes a mistake, they usually man up, and pay the consequence.
when a person on the left makes a mistake, they argue, contest, make a big huff about how the system is unfair, and tryto justify that it wasn't their fault.
