Oh, obviously not! We should NEVER expect the people that break the law and kill people with 4000 pound bullets to be held accountable! Far better to say "tsk, tsk! we'll fix cars so that drunks can't drive them."

very well said

most mouthwash will make you blow a .15 or greater on a breathalyzer. No more oral hygene befor operating a motor vehicle

I'm not saying don't hold them accountable, I'm merely pointing out the fact that the majority of DUIs don't lead to such outcomes. If you start tossing every idiot with a BAC of over .08 into the slammer, you and I will both end up paying for prisons to house them. If the DUI led to property damage, or worse, then there should be harsh penalties, but even then, dangling prison terms over the heads of these people won't deter them. Remember, they're drunk, their judgement is impaired as well as their ability to drive. They're not going to think 'gee, I might get a year for this act I'm about to commit', it's more like 'gee, I wanna get home now'.

When will you get it through skull? The threat of harsher penalties does little to prevent crime, and if you live in a place where every offender has been jailed, I'd like to sniff some of what you're sniffing. It's time to try something else.

Probably about the same time you get it through your head that making laws that have no effect except to inconvenience law-abiding citizens don't do anything to solve the actual problem.

Probably right about then.

boxboy28 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 19, 2004, 04:16:35 PM »

For me it could have prevented it but mostlikely at that time in my life wouldnt have cause i would (at that time in my life) found the trick and ways around it! ---- remember drunks can be reasourceful............

Capt. Pork · « **Reply #28 on:** February 19, 2004, 04:18:00 PM »

So you're saying we'll both simultaeously come to the conclusion that there's no actual solution to the problem?

My point is that increasing punitive measures hasn't stopped the problem. It's time to INVESTIGATE other measures, measures on whose effectiveness you cannot speculate because specific studies have not been done. Simply throwing more money and cops and statutes and cinderblock walls at the problem has been tested, thoroughly.

Yes, sometimes society has to pay the price.

if you get caught over the limit here they impound your car,,it has allready slowed drinking and driving death down in my state,,in usa in the past 20 years,,death toll for drunk drivers have descressed by half!! thats amazing in its own right,,due to tuffer laws,,so far they have helped alot of people,,considering there are more cars on the road today then back 20 years ago,,i would say the laws are helping

WASHINGTON -- The nation's alcohol-related traffic death rate has dropped by more than half during the past 20 years, a government study shows.
