I just think that this law is not the appropriate solution to solve the problem

Just curious. What do YOU think is an appropriate, effective solution to the problem?

Treatment, education, and treating "drunk driving" as a health problem versus making it a criminal issue. Maybe encouraging the public by giving them more tools to avoid them getting in the situation in the first place. Such as an accurate(if there is such a thing) hand held brethalyzer to check their limit before they drive. I don't see how increased criminal penalties is going to solve the problem. In addition, by not advertising the consequenses enough and slipping in extreme, unconstitutional penalties such as confiscation of one's personal property, the state is doing nothing but making money on unsuspecting drivers who may be "actually be in control while driving", but legally over the limit.

That's simple, anybody caught breaking the law, just kill them.

Stop treating DUIs as just a driving problem, and treat them primarily as a drinking problem.

Take away the offender's license to drink. Put "DUI Offender, May Not Purchaces or Consume Alcohol" on their license. Then card everyone at point of purchase for alcohol.
