If i had my way, Anybody caught drinking & driving would lose their license..Forever. I think sometimes people forget that driving is a privelege not a right.
You wanna drink & drive..Go ahead, But you get caught..Your gonna be walkin, Biking, Running..Whatever, But you wouldn't be driving.
I have no sympathy for anybody who drinks and drives.
I'm not saying you were drunk, But, Say you hit a pedestrian. The cops come, smell alcohol on you..Give you a breathalizer and you blow over..You'd be in alot more shit than what you think you are now.
My stepfather lost his license for drinking and driving, The cop told him that he knew he wasn't drunk but he was over the limit so his hands were tied, He had to arrest him. That was..6 years ago.
My stepfather couldn't afford the fine, So, He didn't pay it. He worked an hours drive from home, So he still drove to work and back..That was it. He got pulled over 3 times.
When he finally went to court to be served his punishment, He hadn't payed any of his fines and was caught driving three times with no insurance and no license. He served 4 weekends in a correctional facility and still owes like 7 thousand dollars in fines.
Most of that is because of his stupidity in not paying the initial fine that he recieved, But, If he hadn't of been drinking and driving..He wouldn't of had to go through any of that shit.
So..IMO, I don't think what you got is harsh at all.
Two of my friends were killed by a drunk driver, Because some asshole who probably thought he was ok to drive..couldn't. What really tore me up inside was that, these two friends..They were together for about 5 years happily and walking home from a movie one night and that drunk fuck ran a redlight, J was killed instantly with his brains all over the road and Sarah was on life support and wasn't expected to make it. Doctors said that if she did make it..She'd be brain dead. They were burried side by side.
Is it really worth it..Drinking & Driving?
