Alcohol, speeding factor in collision

When will people wake up. There is so much drunk driving deaths every day visit www.buzznot.com and see for yourself. If you know of anyone lost to drugs or alcohol join our community and design a memorial in there behalf to help show the problems.

Here is your primary problem- They get drunk, they drive and they get caught. The prosecutor doesnt want to spend tons of time on it so defendant pleads to a lesser charge. He walks with a slap on the wrist and two days later is at it again, eventually he will kill an innocent person and we will learn it was his 8th or 9th DUI.

When will the courts wake up and slap it to em hard the first time so that they think twice about doing it again?

As long as a criminal gets slapped on the wrist for doing wrong he /she will do it over and over again. It becomes a careless game to a criminal when they know nothing will happen in the end.

Here is what I propose- First offense Immediate revocation of driving privileges for 5 years- to be run alongside a min 2 year prison sentence. That gives them 2 years to sit and think about why they are there, and 3 more after they get out as a reminder of why they cannot own or operate a motor vehicle. Oh and also they have to have the standard probationary period where they are tested at random and prove they are staying straight.

5 year of hell! when will lawmakers wake up?
