It is past time to end the namby-pamby treatment of drunk drivers who injure or kill others. I’m sick of “negligible homicide” or “vehicular homicide”. Drunk drivers who kill - premeditated their crime which led to the death of others.

Indeed. There is never any excuse to engage in DUI under any circumstances. This is definitely one crime that should merit a death sentence if a DUI driver kills someone else.

How many other stories do we hear about involving repeat DUI offenders who continue to willfully cause crashes and kill other people by repeatedly getting behind the wheel when they are in no position to drive? There really should be some sort of 3-strikes (or less) policy for repeat DUI offenders.

Maybe DUI drivers should lose their licenses for 5 years instead of the current 6 months. (In VA at least.) And forget this “driving to work is okay” business. Make their lives hell.

If there’s a DUI fatality, they should never get a license again, and should they be found driving under any circumstances, they’ll go to jail for a year.

I can’t imagine how frustrating my life would be without being able to drive. Seems a fitting punishment.
