STARCHER, J.,

¶1dissenting.

¶2I am not persuaded that the Legislature, when it decided to create the “.02-.08 blood alcohol level suspension” for drivers under twenty-one, intended that a subsequent offense, when a person is over 21, would mean an automatic ten-year license suspension. Absent clear statutory language evidencing such a Legislative intent, I would not infer it — as the majority has done. Accordingly, I dissent.
