Thank you for being responsible enough not to drink and drive. I got hit two years ago while at work. The crash killed him and I was out on IOD for 3 months.

People have got to learn once and for all NOT to drive after drinking. Too many innocent people are killed or hurt every year by drinking drivers. I think 1st time getting caught with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit should result in insurance premium increases which would keep most of these people from driving again.I am talking 3 X's or better insurance increases for say 5 yrs, with a slide back to normal rates in 10 yrs. If this was the law, and was well known to all, then maybe more folks would consider the consequences of drinking and driving BEFORE they start to drinklDriving is a previledge not a right. That previledge is given up when acting so irresponsibly IMO.
gmill880:mixed a creme soda and bourbon.......interesting
urbino:People who've gotten a DUI should be issued a license plate that advertises that fact. Make them neon yellow or something. It'd instantly give the police and other drivers an important piece of info, and it would add a shame factor to discourage the behavior.
j0z3r:It is a losing battle unless jail time were the punishment for a first offense, if you take away their license, they can still drive, but they can't do it if they're locked up.

Our DUI rate hasn't dropped since that was implemented.

Either the system is failing us, or we are failing ourselves...I'm not sure which, but neither one sounds all too good.

Stupid people are procreating faster than the intelligent ones. Put down your cigar and get to the procreation.
