Someone has me on ignore. Why does POSSIBLY getting behind the wheel when you are over the legal limit make PMS a piece of shit?

Dui's should be decriminalized. Instead of locking people up, we should be offering them rides home.

It's a ridiculous penalty. They treat it like vehicular homicide. Woulda coulda isn't a felony.

The power of the insurance lobby. I imagine everyone here has gotten behind the wheel of a car or in the car with someone else when, legally, too much alcohol or drugs were consumed.

I’m also assuming if anyone here did that and got caught, arrested , had their license suspended for six months or a year , had to pay $15,000 fine a lawyer , attend classes , that they wouldn’t do it again. That’s why he’s a piece of shit.

he's a moron at a minimum, especially given the priors. but say he was double the legal limit... then he's a true piece of shit

Vehicular homicide is already a bullshit too lenient penalty. I know this girl wiped out a couple riding motorcycles up near Traverse City one spring day, driving distracted (cell-phone) not drunk. She did 45 days. Killed 2 people, grandparents even, and got a six week holiday at county.

Either the Freaknomics guys or maybe Malcolm Gladwell did a podcast on the history of criminal liability for injuring / killing someone with a motor vehicle. They chalked up the freakishly light penalties for mowing down someone with a vehicle as an indirect, but initially necessary subsidy to the auto industry that has outlived its efficacy.

Cars must have an NRA level lobby. We wouldn’t want to do anything to inconvenience drivers. Some guy on a bike rolls a stop sign though and they should be given the death penalty
