If you drink, it is your choice. If you drive after drinking, it is your choice. Are these not the same parameters as a pre-meditated incident? If you kill after making those choices, does a stiff penalty and losing your license for a brief time fit the crime? Put these drunk drivers under the wheel, not behind the wheel, and snuff their lights. After a couple of those hitting the press, watch how sober people are when they drive.
I agree with the drunk boating argument. A local dentist was killed this summer by a drunk boater that drove his racing boat right through the middle of a Bayliner with 4 people on board. The drunk boater never even slowed down.
So, the biggest states make it, not a very good mathematical model. Puerto Rico and Washington DC aren\’t states.
No matter how tough the law is, people will still do it. All tougher laws are doing now is making innocent people look guity in the eyes for police enforcement, and I just this because one of my parents is a police officer. You can get a DWI for being perfectly sober and it\’ll cost you $2500 or more just to prove your innocence. That\’s wrong if you ask me.
I just saw in the paper here last week that a 52 year old guy was killed by a drunk, non-licensed, non-insured woman who blew a stop sign. What\’s worse, is that they\’re so lax in the legal system here the worst thing that will happen with her is that she\’ll get a relatively small fine. I\’m in Illinois btw…
My nephew was seriously injured by a drunk driver, an elderly man, uninsured, no license and an illegal immigrant. The man fled to Mexico. Fortunately my nephew was properly insured and all of his medical bills will be covered by his insurance company. (auto and health).

For what it is worth, it is time that State legislators pass similar laws to discourage persons from operating a jetski or motorboat while drunk.
In most States, a boating accident is treated no more harshly than jaywalking.
Lets not wait for a child to be killed by a drunk jetskier.

When did Puerto Rico become a state?
My nephew was seriously injured by a drunk driver, an elderly man, uninsured, no license and an illegal immigrant. The man fled to Mexico. Fortunately my nephew was properly insured and all of his medical bills will be covered by his insurance company. (auto and health).
Puerto Rico, and Washington D.C. are the states of drunkeness..Ted Kennedy spends much time in MA and DC is this a coincidence….I think not!!!!!
Yet another reason they need to shut down the borders
Washington no es un estado tampoco.
