We always complain on this forum how suspensions in the NHL seem to be more based on the results of the dirty hit rather then based on how dirty the hit itself is, is this somewhat the same?
I know a couple people who are EACH on DUI number 4, combined they have served less then 1 month in jail and as far as I know both got their divers license back within a year of their last incident, that to me is bat**** ****ing crazy. At some point you should never be allowed to drive again every for any reason.

You're absolutely right. We should just let people off with vehicular manslaughter due to the fact that they aren't that likely to kill anyone a second time.
The average person gets caught for the first time after driving drunk eight times. I read that in Chris Jericho's book so it has to be true.
The laws should be zero tolerance for driving with anything more than minimal amounts of alcohol in your bloodstream. Eventually, we'll get there. Have a look at the link below; I was impressed with the law in Brazil.
