what the ****? that's it?
Well, the US is the land of litigation.... that may also be an early charge too. But hey, wouldn't want buddy to lose his licence would we? Like the sot who was just recently sentenced to five years after driving drunk onto the 401 the wrong way killing two men in a head on. Of course she survived, albeit with some injuries. Luckily she is also barred from driving for 16 years after the five. So she'll be 66 by the time she gets her licence back. Nice going, judge. She'll be due for an SUV or motorhome by then.
I am progressively more and more staggered by a system that feels driving a vehicle is a right rather than a priviledge.
