Mr. Charlie

Wasn't like that. It involved the imminant arrival of the cops and the necessity to leave the scene.

I think I'd rather just get arrested (though it's sort of silly to arrest someone for using LSD) than accidentally kill myself somehow.

penalties should prob be harsher.

wouldnt give a life sentence tho in 99.9% of cases.

case by case basis of course. big difference between blowin a .28 crossin the high way median and blowin a .10 at 8 am the next day

ladyislingering

Life sentences should only be given to people convicted of vehicular manslaughter. It's not really going to heal the pain they caused the family of an innocent person, but it'll keep them away from society.

You do have a point there, though. Every case is slightly different, but should always end in punishment. People are taught from childhood that this behavior is dangerous and stupid, and yet somehow they think "oh, I'll never get caught" or "I'm fine".

actually i think itd be benficial to make breathalyzers available at bars or just more available for purchase. prob save a ton of duis. lots of ppl legit arent sure if they are legally drunk or not

FRED HALE SR.

Everyone should have enough change to take a cab home and know when to say i'm not gonna drive. At the very least, go to a bar within walking distance. The bar should never be at fault for people that can stop drinking whenever they want.

i agree, i never said it was at fault. ya should always make arrangements to get home before ya start drinkin even if cabs arent an option. but dont tell me a breathalyzer at a bar wouldnt stop a good number of duis either

FRED HALE SR.

I honestly don't. People who are gonna drink rarely weigh consequences after they get loose. I think a cab or walking is always the best option. a breathalyzer at a bar would probably just be a game to see how intoxicated you can really get.

its not about a john daly wannaba gettin housed at the bar off of bud pounders then drivin home. he will regardless. but i really cant fathom how anyone could think that literally no ppl would be responsible enough to not drive if they knew their bac level. if it saved 1 dui from every bar in the country per year, that alone would be an astronomical number

FRED HALE SR.

Well you would have to understand that on the average most people have more then one beer. If you have more then one beer you are over the legal level. Hell if you have one beer you can be popped for wet and reckless, happened to a friend of mine. He literally picked his woman up, had a beer and then pulled out of the bar parking lot and got popped with a level less then .008. Its just not gonna stop people from drinking and driving because then people wouldn't even bother the go to begin with.
