I have some faith in the American justice system. I once saw a Ferrari with "Party Plates". My thoughts were if someone has the money to purchase a Ferrari, they surely should have the funds to buy their way out of a DUI but the charges stuck.
Personally my views related to DUI would be pretty far out and unorthodox, but i hope Mr. Pelosi faces some dire consequences.
DUI in and of itself is a victimless crime. So is speeding. I do not think in and of itself it should be punishable - if you can operate your vehicle in whatever condition and no-one is ever the wiser, fine.
Punishment for if others are harmed (or their property) or certainly killed (death penalty yourself) should be high enough that most would not risk it. Pelosi caused a crash so there you go.
I'd even argue that the same punishment should apply whether drunk or sober, as no accident is an accident, but that probably is even more "far out and unorthodox." We really need an entirely different approach to driving responsibility in my view - after all, it's actually the most dangerous thing most people ever do in their whole lives.
I'm curious if our "FO&U" match up or if you have totally different ideas.
I don't want to be that guy but I guess I have to.
It's the blood alcohol limits and the clear money grabbing scheme that's the issue. .08 is very easy to fail honestly. I'm okay with 0.0, 0 tolerance. Everyone thinks they're fine after a few beers. If it were zero tolerance I think that would dissuade much more.
I'd much prefer harsher penalties with regards to losing the license than putting people in debt.
Also I think they need to bring back the work license which allows you to go to work and back. If you mess up while driving on that, I'm okay with a ten year ban on having a driver's license.
That is also enough to cause a measurable delay in reaction time for most people. I don't care if you are (or think you are) one of the few who can have a higher amount of BAC and still react the same. The law has to be applied equally. That means a single standard for everyone.

DUI isnt a victimless crime. If you're driving wrecklessly enough to be pulled over, then you have the potential to cause a wreck.
Same with speeding IF its really a limit legitimately set for safety (and not just nice for speed traps).
People shouldn't have to be injured or dead before limits are enforced.
You actually sound more like a shill who'd shift the dui blame and then just remove driving privileges from everyone because "They are so dangerous".
