EPTI understand the people who are arguing the punishment could be restricted to community sentence etc., but if the injury due to DUI is permanent, it's pretty lenient for the driver to be released for probably completely messing over that guy's future life prospects.

He's at home now. I'm not 100% sure of his punishment, but he's definitely at home now. I don't think he got any severe punishment. | ||

I don't think he got any severe punishment. he might have spent the night in jail, and given a court date for his criminal offences. He will be judged at that point, and given his punishment, including fines and loss of license. He will also most surely be taken to court again by the injured, and sued for damages caused to them, which could be a pretty steep fine. It may look like he is at home, and nothing much will happen, but he probably only had to be in jail until he was sober, and then released until his court date. He may be on house arrest until that date too, never know. Either way he is going to be facing some steep punishment. | ||

He might be on bail; I can't imagine why someone charged with DUI must be remanded. However this is probably just temporary since there is no way he can get away from it without a trial. | ||

Death is obviously a little severe, but the penalty should be severe enough that people stop fucking doing it. IMO first offense DUI should result in you losing your license for 3-5 years (under circumstances where it is proven via breathalizer that you are well over the legal limit). Then maybe these idiots would actually considering taking a cab or public transit after getting hammered. Slap your buddy in the face for me. I think that the laws should be much worse than this 30days-6months no license + fine. If you are going to get behind the wheel and risk the lives of others you should lose the right to personal transportation for a significant period of time. Same should go for people who talk on the phone or text while driving. | ||

2. What about the majority of the population that don't drink at all? your kidding right? Drunk driving should be punished hard. But most people in here that want to punish a drunk driver like a murderer are probably to retarded to pass a driving test anyway... | ||

But if you put "retardnes" on the same level as "willingly killing someone" then something is very wrong with your judgement. Btw: "Hammered" is also pretty "open", what is hammered? 0.2 (lol), 0.5, 0.8, 1? | ||
