Just because someone was convicted of drunk driving for the first time, doesn't mean it was their first time driving drunk. Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show first-time offenders have, on average, driven drunk about 80 times before getting caught. Show Less

Everyone knows you should not drink and drive.

I agree however, one beer shouldn't get you a DWI or DUI either.

Debra Coffey

It is not the first time they drove drunk and can change behaviour. It's just first time they were caught.

An offender's first time getting caught drunk driving shouldn't force them to get an ignition interlock device.

I believe that people caught driving while high on Fentanyl, Heroin, Meth, or anything similar should be treated the same way as alcohol intoxication, but they are not.

I see people smoking joints driving beside my. That makes me feel real good also. They need to be arrested.

Well my uneducated self who is debt free, doesn't live outside my means, retired before 50 will be just fine regardless what happens. No you educated, debt ridden, living off the government's charity..... well you yourself are to blame. Be accountable for your life and actions.

When the debt finally becomes unsustainable ... which isn't that far off ... the solution historically is to monetize the debt, leading to hyperinflation. Read up on it ... you will not be immune.

For workers it is sound. For those on welfare it could be a problem. Things are about to change.

The "dollar" is not real. The economy is the labor the people provide.
