| Not only that but people get arrested for DUI and all they get is a slap on the wrist and they're back on the road shortly. You get caught on a DUI once and you've just shown you don't have the maturity or the responsibility to drive a car, ever. |

| If we had a decent ing mass transit system like in Europe then people wouldn't have to drive back home after getting drunk. As things are, you either need a DD or just crash at somewhere close by (which I usually do). |

lolol last year they set one up on the main road into campus while i was working delivery for the night, HUGE pain in the ass. anyways, the cops were cool, but holy it was hilarious watching them work. not only did they have the small roadblock etc, but they had unmarked cop cars sitting like 1/4 mile down the road in either direction. seriously like every minute someone would be going towards it, see the sign, and turn around as fast as they could. and then BAM they get screwed by the unmarked car :p
cops at the checkpoint i don't think caught a single person, but the unmarked cars had a in field day :haha: |

they need to show better gore videos during high school presentations.
I remember our drunk driving presentation as a very tame VHS tape with a bunch of numbers and graphs and statistics which caught no ones attention and we were all busy tossing salds in the air or whatever.
if they showed pictures of people's faces ripped off and girlfriend's heads decapitated from driving into a tree, kids would at least notice the video and maybe, just maybe, be scared straight (or scarRed straight, amirite?) |

it's not quite that severe. A theft or a fraud could be a felony. You can't really put it into the same category as murder. There are different degrees of felony. |

IMO, I don't see how that will help. For some people, it doesn't matter whether they have a license or not. They will still drive a vehicle regardless. And most of those types of people don't seem to mind driving intoxicated either.
All you really can do is toughen up DUI violations. But let's not go too overboard and give 20 years for someone who's just a tiny bit over the legal drinking limit. |

You should never have received your license back. |
