So, how is it that this guy was still driving after all those violations? He probably came within a hair's breadth of killing a family on the highway. His license should be revoked permanently.

Revoking his license won't stop anything, he should be locked up for good.

It looks like this guy might be driving without a license if you look on case.net. It doesn't really say but after that many DWI's you would think he shouldn't legally be allowed to drive anymore. If so, then there is an obvious problem.
