1 year mandatory prison time for the first offense,


People are so funny. If you're going to do the above then they need to figure out some sort of tiers on the whole BAC cause some states right now are at .08.

Let's be blunt here. It's a virtual certainty that more than half the drivers over 55 have lost more of their reaction time from when they were 25 than a 25 year old has when he's .08.

I think it's actually somewhat simple to reduce DUIs without going all draconian. Make the 1st offense of a mandatory "fine" of installing a breath device on ALL cars in your household in order for you to start them(and any new car you buy in a given time frame).

For those who say, "but they'll just get someone else to blow", really? I mean, I suppose that may happen VERY occasionally, but sheesh.

I used to kind of think way this too, especially about drivers over 65.

Recent studies (I just saw a report on this, I'll look) have shown that just isn't the case.
Plus, while the sober 55 yo maybe slower to react, he will certainly be better than a .08 25 yo, in most cases, especially considering his overall driving experience.

IDK if it's true, but aren't most deadly DUI crashes caused by repeat offenders?
