the thing is, they take your liscence away temporarily, I'm saying it should be more like you drink and drive once, you're never allowed to drive again, period. The police service outside the bars is a really good idea, but there's nothing like that where I live, only the occasional checkstops out on the road, and while they do help, they aren't sufficient. I think they just need to make the penalties harsh enough that people simply wont take the risk of doing it.
