It’s illegal, but not considered a pre-meditated crime.

Besides, if we are to welcome more self-made brain-dead people on our roads, I want to have a solid torture penalty added, too.

I have no problems with people doing any drug. I have problems when people who do drugs hurt others “while under the influence.” I believe “under the influence” crimes should be considered pre-planned.

I don’t disagree. I just think that traffic laws should be enforced uniformly in a way that makes sense. If we are going to punish people for being under the influence while driving because they could “potentially” cause an accident, why not punish bad drivers, who actually do cause and accident or injury, in the same or a more severe manner. Let’s face it bad drivers no that they are dangerous and shouldn’t be on the road. They understand that they lack the eye hand coordination, decision making, and other skills required to be a safe driver. A glance at their driving record will show that they have been involved in multiple accidents in the past. Isn’t their wrecklessness pre-meditated?

Do yu extend that anger to those who drive while not paying attention, while over-tired from lack of sleep, while on OTC or prescription medication?
