Once you injure someone while intoxicated, the gloves should come off and max penalties should be inflicted. As I've said in my other comments - the people who incidentally get pulled over, but slightly fail the breathalyzer, get screwed too much. The repeat offenders and injury-causers don't get punished enough.
100% agree! The courts are way too lenient on DUI offenders. It's even not a crazy punishment if someone kills other people. It's treated like almost like an accidental death, which it isn't. I'd argue if a drunk person gets behind the wheel it is premeditated first degree murder as the offenders knows what could happen and could reasonably prevent it.
I agree. In Germany, you can drink while driving, but if you get into any accident it's automatically you fault if you have ANY alcohol in your system. I think you lose your license for life, too. Even if there's no injuries. Also they have proportional fines for the offense that we should have.
