Lowering of the drinking age, increasing DUI penalties.
I personally believe the drinking age should be lowered to 19 (out of highschool) but it really does not matter to me either way. Many people who disagree with the lowering of the drinking age site increased DUIs when the drinking age was lowered. I believe regardless of what the drinking age is that DUI penalties be increased. Not increase how much the ticket is but have the penalty be taking the driver off the road. I believe that for the first offence is your warning, you get your license suspended for 6 months or until you complete drivers school. Your second offense, mantatory 1 year suspension of your driver liscense. Your third is your third strike out, you lose your license until you have a vehicle equiped with a breathalizer ignition purchased with your money.
Why so strict? Because their is NO excuse for drunk driving, it is 100% preventable.
Thoughts, comments?
