I figured out your intention after posting - sorry

I think in regards to both Few and Checketrs, it was their attitude that fueled the mocking.

For Few, his attitude when being arrested. For Checketts, his utter lack of humility and driving 145 miles an hour on I-15 on his FIFTH offense.

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!

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

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.

But feel free to mock Spencer Checketts.

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

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

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

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

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.
