I seriously wish we had drunk driving laws like germany. I met a foreign exchange student that went to a getogether with his parents when he was 12 and they had a little to drink so they made him drive home because if he got caught, it would've been way less punishment than if they got caught.
I think the reason we have such a problem with it here is that people aren't that afraid of the consequences. Most people don't even think they're bad drivers when they're drunk.
I realize that the government would say such laws would be unconstitutional or some crap like that, but I think it would be a hell of a lot better than so many innocent people dying. I think Germany got it right on that one.
