It is supposedly a personal moral failing every time someone drives too old, too tired, or too impaired, but if trains, busses, & walking were the default ways to get around then this chronic societal problem would diminish dramatically. For the vast majority of US citizens busses, trains, walking, biking, etc are not viable options because US infrastructure & city planning overwhelmingly neglects everything but the automobile.

Incompetent driving is rooted in systemic failures, not personal moral ones.

This is probably good justice, but idk if it’s going to reduce drunk driving.

It’s crazy to me that in America drunk driving (with no victims) isn’t a felony on its own. In Canada it’s their version of a felony and generally a way bigger deal. In America you seem to only have consequences when someone’s hurt.

Crazy that MADD was able to lobby to get all states to have 21 as the legal drinking age but not able to lobby to make drunk driving a felony because it’s too ingrained into America since people like going to bars but don’t wanna pay for cabs and have no other transit options.

Wow incredibly rare Texas W.

Given the finances of drunk drivers with records, this is akin to a death penalty or an induction into slavery. I can’t say they don’t deserve it.

That is a law I can absolutely get behind. I’d go further and say that if they cause serious harm, they have to pay until the guardian can fully resume their duties to the child.
