Hell yes the law needs to be tougher on drunks that drive! How about some non-negotiable sentences like this.
1st offense: Forfeit vehicle, loss of license for 18 months, fine of not less than $7,500 or more than $12,500.
Driving while privileges suspended for DUI: Forfeit vehicle, extend loss of driving privileges for 18 months, fine of not less than $10,000 or more than $15,000 … three months in jail.
2nd offense (with a valid license): Forfeit vehicle, five years probation, loss of driving privileges for 5 years, fine of not less than $15,000 or more than $30,000. Mandatory alcohol monitor (convict pays for monitoring fees).
Consumption of any intoxicant while on DUI probation: Remainder of probation period served in custody. Suspension of driving privileges on hold until custodial sentence is served, fine of $10,000 – $15,000.
3rd conviction in a lifetime for DUI: Forfeit vehicle, driving privileges revoked for life, $30,000 fine, 18 months in jail, 10 years probation.
I believe DUIs should be labeled as attempted murder. It is like someone getting a chester charge for trying to pick up a prostitute. You can kill someone while driving under the influence of alcohol, and people get killed by it every hour or less.
Yes, be like Norway, no alcohol before or obviously during driving, and here’s the kicker, they don’t allow drinking for a period of time afterwards! (So you can’t run inside and have a snort and say you were sober at the time of driving)
Yes, aside from higher fines, their vehicles impounded for at least 6 months and the license suspended for a year. Repeat offenders should automatically face jail time and license revocation and hopefully, no community service option instead of jail time.

No negotiation, no plea bargain, no crap.
heavier fines and suspended license
They should.
I think fines should be bigger and your license should be suspended for AT LEAST a year.
