Well considering I don't own a car or drink alcohol. I think our laws are pretty disgusting.
I vote for zero tolerance make the law real easy to understand for drivers.
Provide public transportation to run until a 30 min. after the bars close.
Our taxi service provides a free ride home and then you pay a ride back to your car.
Our current DUI/aggressive task force would target people leaving the bar in a car. And get rid of check points.
Provide a toll free number to report erratic behavior.
Establish tests for other illegal drugs.
Repeal the Bicycling while toxicated law, and add a bicyle assualt for pedestrians law. Which could be used also for sober people.


Upon first conviction
Receive a DUI plate and a DUI license for 1 year.
You have a mandatory 80 hour community service.
You pay the fund to support the task force and your legal fees.
Bars would not be able to serve you with your new ID Habitual drinkers would be barred from buyng any alcohol anywhere.

The second offensive you would be charged with Vehicle Manslaughter and forced to serve the maximum sentence not exceeding 5 years.

Any injury results from your crash would be second degree murder.

In America we tend to govern laws by popularity. If a small group of people does it lock em up for life. If there is a huge population ohh let's be kind to them. I think we need to be tough with viloent crime and treat non-violent crime with community service. I understand some of my issues have no teeth but at least it is in place.
