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.

False equivalency.

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

In the many threads I've participated in, CB is heavy handed on mercy for DUI,

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

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

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

Sparkling Delirium

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.

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

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.
