Between the rise of SUVs, and the increase in distracted driving, I’m not surprised in the slightest.
We really need to treat driving offenses with way more scrutiny.
I found out recently that operating a boat while intoxicated is a mandatory jail sentence. Meanwhile there are people out driving drunk right now who are 3+ DUIs.
I think it should be 1 and done. After that, you should have to choose between being legally allowed to purchase alcohol, or being legally allowed to drive, and if you blow over 0.00 on a breathalyzer after that, it’s an automatic 10 year sentence.
That won’t be possible until there are practical alternatives to driving across all towns and cities.
