What is going to change it is when we start taking the licenses away from drunk drivers. Not for the 5th offense for a 6 month period or some crap either. First offense, you lose your license for 2 years. Second offense, you're done. Enjoy riding the C-train from now on.

Those of use who don't drink and drive will all get a little safer as there will be virtually no repeat offenders.

We aren't talking about a trivial inconvenience here. We are talking about people dying. That entire family just got wiped out because this guy figured he was "ok" to have a couple wobbly pops and get behind the wheel. I am betting it wasn't the first time.
