Are you kidding me? I think it is very stiff already. I also feel that it is almost unfair the way the BAC system works. Some people at .08 are completely fine. While some 90 pound girl is wasted. If pulled over i feel it should be under the cops judgement with the field sobriety test to determine if this person is capable to drive or not.
A DWI can ruin your life these days. The law on it is black and white when it is not a black and white matter, everyones body reacts differently to alcohol.
so dont drink and then drive, problem solved… no sympathy for people who get DWI’s
So its unacceptable to go out and have a beer or 2 at dinner? I mean comon man.
meh, i’m so back and forth on the issue. I feel that driving tired is MUCH more dangerous than driving with a BAC of .08 - .12… now anything over that…ehh…
I’m 100% for losing your license permanently on the first offense. No loopholes, no buying your way out. Done.
GOOD
unfortunately i have driven kind of intoxicated before, only around the block to my house… but the other night i left my ex gf’s at like 4am and i was EXTREMELY tired and i felt very uncomfortable/unsafe driving in those conditions
Are YOU kidding me?? Yes it’s real stiff :gtfo:. People get 3, 4 ,5 DWI/DUI/DWAI offenses and still have a license or coniditional license. That seems real strict. Most of the time people get a slap on the wrist for a first violation if you don’t have a previous record. Even if you do, odds are its going to be reduced.
Don’t like the BAC system? Don’t sign your license, problem solved.
Well, if you learned your lesson and never do it again, cool.
if not…
yeah, but who is over the limit in 1 or two beers?
Whats strict is blowing a .08 and having to dish out 10k and maybe losing your job. It doesnt take much to get a .08. Actually after a hard night of drinking see what you blow at noon the next day. I bet its over .08. So if you go out somewhere and get pulled over for something stupid like not using your turn signal you can a DWI when you feel no effects.
Now i dont have a DWI nor am i saying its ok to drink and drive. But i can sympathize with the people that get a DWI because they blow a 1.0 but pass every sobriety test fine but because of that little number their life is fucked.

Seriously, thought it was cool you got out of it, and didn’t have to suffer the consequences that you probably should have been dealt, but really not cool you are coming off like a complete dick head now. Police don’t make the laws you break, they are simply doing their job.
drinking is just something that leads to more wreckless driving, whether you think it does or not. which is why i’m against it
Ok so lets do the math. You start drinking at lets say 9pm and stop at 3am (because you need to sober up and drive home). You knock down 12 beers, and get 5-6 shots down (Avg 3 drinks an hour). The alcohol from your last drink takes about an hour to enter your system.
At noon you would have had the alcohol for 15 drinks circulate and clear your system. Using the number of drinks above you BAC would be estimated at .02-.04 for the average size male. The average removal is .02 per hour.
I do understand your point about people who blow a number and can truly operate a vehicle as if they hand’t had a drop, but I don’t agree with it. If you know the consequences and get pulled over for a different infraction, then you deserve what you have coming. If your going to D&D and get busted for something stupid like a lane change or no signal, it’s the drivers own fault.
dingus day fucking sucks, its the dumbest shit ever. how fucking polish do you have to be to drive drunk in cheektavegas on dingus day eve? o wait…
if i had a nickel for every time i got out of a dwi… i would have 20 cents. either way, you do dumb shit, learn from your actions, and im just happy i got off without a dwi (or, god forbid, killing someone) and have learned to not be a tard anymore. although, ive never gotten hammered and driven, ive always been in control in my mind (maybe another reason why ive been let off so many times)
either way, dingus day is a stupid holiday
also, 2 beers at dinner /= a dwi. at all
… and before you get preachy
I drink. A FUCKING LOT
I’m just smart enough NOT TO DRIVE when I do… it’s not that tough, really. Binary decision: Drink != drive.
I know I’d rater not live with myself after killing somebody because “I felt perfectly ok to drive”
