On Doyle calls for tougher drunken driving laws

Kesara-I have to say after reading your post I found it selfish and pathetic.
I really don’t care if you could lose your job or have a problem finding another job in the future because of your “mistake”. I had a friend who lost his LIFE because of some ones “mistake”. People that drive drunk and get caught all feel like life is so tough and it’s so unfair, but it’s a lot more unfair if you spend your life trying to become a successful part of society only to be murdered by a drunk driver.
So what you’re saying is that you should be totally fine driving drunk until you actually hurt someone. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I think that if you get caught drunk driving you should lose your license for 5 years and if you get caught driving before that time has lapsed OR if you have another dui you should spend 10 years in jail. 10 years in jail is a lot better than death.
There is absolutely no excuse for driving drunk. If you are going to go out drinking then you need to have a designated driver BEFORE you go out. If you can’t find one then stay the heck home and drink there.
I hope that there are more intense laws for drunk drivers, and I think that checkpoints are a great idea.
