There are several reasons I made this thread. Firstly, I just found out that another player from my hockey team got a dui, and he's the third guy from this team to get one. Also, I was watching some American channel today, and I forget which state it was, but apparantly they introduced a new law, where after your first dui, you have to use the blower thingy to start your car for the rest of your life.

I'm not saying people who get dui's should be given any sympathy, or cut any slack, but having that blower thing for the rest of your life seemed a little harsh to me. It would just seem like quite the punishment to be 50 years old, driving your grandkids to soccer practise, and having to explain to them that the reason your embarassingly blowing into a device shaped like a d*ck to start your car, is because you screwed up once when you were 17, over three decades ago. I mean there's lots of things you can do to screw up when your younger, but not too many I can think of, leave you with a permanent social stigma to make you look pathetic for the rest of your life.

Anyways, has anyone on CP ever had one. (I know there was that one guy who made a thread about it.)
