The fact he was pulled over for swerving all over the road is a pretty good indicator he was hammered .....but sure. Anyways , ya dumb move , but still hope he gets help . Wgen people make mistakes that are stupid and dangerous , not saying people should excuse that without consequences, but my main thought immediately wasn't as much about his punishment, but hoping he gets help. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Okay........................................................................... 2 hours ago, Dumb Nuck said: I’d say if you ever get a second DUI you should lose your license forever as you’re clearly a threat and proved you can’t be trusted. People make mistakes. Especially teens and younger adults. Doesn't really excuse it at all, and it only takes one mistake to destroy lives. That being said, I do firmly believe people that have multiple DUI's should never be able to drive again. And quite honestly, if you're 46 years old and you still resort to drunk driving, there's no excuse. There's all sorts of awareness around this crap, it's always on the news, young kids losing lives. It's just plain ignorance. Stay within the legal limit and drive responsibly. Edited March 1 by Odd. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gurn 11,796 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) If driving over the limit is illegal, but people do it anyway; why would not having a licence stop them? If found guilty: Fine Licence suspended for ? months breathalyzer installed. Next time car possessed by government, sold at auction Licence gone for life Jail Time LARGE FINE. 3rd Time Go to jail for 5-10 years Edit: All above based on no injuries, if people injured go directly to step 2, at the least..

butters 1,145 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Lots of comments here saying that they hope he deals with his demons. And he has 'em then that is valid. But he might also just be a guy who makes poor choices when he's had one too many. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ya, but 3 doesn't usually doesn't get you pulled over for swerving all over the road. Especially if ur 250 pounds. Bloodshot eyes in his mugshot, and swerving all over the road might lead a rational person to think it was definitely more than a few.

Gnarcore 7,199 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 4 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: I agree completely with this. I really don't understand why we are so lenient on this in Canada. Well it is provincial and BC is decently strict in a few regards to it. I'd actually say there is as much an issue with the police allowed too much ability to impose punishment as opposed to due recourse. Penalties should reflect the level. Like if you're barely over a stiff fine and driving suspension but if you're swerving all over the road and blowing a 1.6 it should be crippling fine and long suspension while repeat offenders of any amount should be seeing multi year suspensions to serious jail time based on severity. I just think it shouldn't be on the police to impose this but the Crown and/or a judge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
