zero tolerance for drunk driving. I watched too many classmates go out and drink at bars and then drive home buzzed. Zero excuse. If you plan on drinking, take an uber. It’s simple.

How about anyone who gets a DUI has to Uber or use a self driving car for the rest of their existence? No DL for them!

CB is very soft on drunk driving punishment. Thanks for sharing the story. Too

We've decided as a society that drinking and driving is fine.

We accept 44,000 deaths by automobile annually with a smile

False equivalency.

How so? We could design our cities and communities to have better public

I'm all for your suggestions and agree. Just saying accidental car wrecks don't

In my experience the consequence you describe is true, but that doesn’t mean CB agrees with that.

You paint with a broad brush. I don’t share that view and have some experience watching DUI’s being sentenced.

Don’t you dare mock Mark Few on here for his DUI

But feel free to mock Spencer Checketts.

That's because he had FIVE

I'm sure he deserves the mocking - not saying he doesn't.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, there is ZERO excuse for drunk driving.

It won’t change until the feds implement breathylizers to drive.

Unfortunately I think you’re right. But it could be solved pretty easy. People

This is one area I’m fine with giving up my right to drive until I blow 0.0%

Chasicle

Nov 25, 6:54pm

I tend to agree, but my annoyance would be for me having to blow every time

Sparkling Delirium

Nov 25, 6:58pm

Eh. It appears that marijuana is giving alcohol a run for its money and breathalyzers cops use apparently don't..

Exactly. No reason for it at all. Inexcusable. Attempted murder.

It's why I avoid driving at night

We should actually just make it so that drunk driving actually has consequences.

Jimmertime

Nov 25, 7:08pm

At least part of it has to be due to US's lack of respect for dangerous nature of driving a car in general.

If the state really cared, a DUI would not be a class B Misdemeanor.

The only way to discourage bad behavior is very strict and harsh punishments.

Punishment should be much more harsh. Studies show using a phone while driving
