If he swerved to miss a previous car I dont believe he intended to hit anyone. Especially seeing as how he was presumably under the influence his judgement would be impaired as well.

Everyone always argues that penalties need to be stricter and punishments more harsh....but in reality harsher punishments/sentences do not have any sort of deterrent factor and actually increase the chances of re-offending.
