How to end drunk driver deaths.

[Woodznutz]

Most fatal drunk driving events are caused by repeat DUI offenders. When this happens the judge that heard the drunk driver's last case and yet allowed the offender access to his or her vehicle by not impounding it should be removed from the bench.

Mandate car manufacturers to install ignition interlock devices on all motor vehicles. Such devices can be got around.
It still won't stop teens and young adults speeding and driving recklessly or stealing cars.
Nothing's perfect.

That would be racist n stuff. Latinos and indians drive drunk at twice the rates of whites. The commies are already sniveling over the imaginary 'disparities' in arrests for being a drunken asshole.

Hardly any traffic enforcement going on here. Morons doing 100+ mph and some 20% of drivers having no insurance is the norm here.

I got cured of speeding when my license was revoked for a year. That was 63 years ago.

I've never gotten a ticket, except for a parking ticket once.

You want to hear some real BS?

In Washington State, it generally requires four DUI offenses within a 10-year period for a person to be charged with Felony DUI, although there are exceptions.​

Here's how it works:​

1. Misdemeanor DUI:
   • A first, second, or third DUI offense within a 10-year period is usually charged as a gross misdemeanor.
2. Felony DUI:
   • A DUI becomes a Class C felony if any of the following apply:
     • Four or more prior DUI convictions (or certain related offenses, like reckless driving reduced from DUI) within the past 10 years.
     • The driver has a previous conviction for vehicular homicide or vehicular assault involving alcohol or drugs.
     • The driver has a prior felony DUI conviction.

Penalties for Felony DUI:​

• C felonies in Washington carry a maximum penalty of:
  • 5 years in prison.
  • $10,000 fine.
• Sentencing for Felony DUI is more severe than for misdemeanors, with mandatory minimum sentences and longer license suspensions.

Why is this law structured this way?​

Washington's DUI laws are designed to increase penalties for repeat offenders while allowing some leniency for first or second-time offenders. However, the state imposes strict conditions even for first offenses, including mandatory alcohol education, ignition interlock devices, and potential jail time.​

MADD must be dead now what with all the illegals being charged with DUI. You don't hear anything about/from them.

MADD....The original Karens.

Here in Nevada your third DUI is automatically a felony.
