In the event of somebody being convicted of DUI the punishments should be more severe. As of right now for somebody who is convicted of their first DUI and does not cause injury is license suspension of 1 year, and the maximum sentence of 4 months in jail. Before the decisions of others cause the loss of innocent lives changes must be made. Today I am petitioning the government to increase the amount of time your license is suspended if convicted of DUI. I am certain this will deter people from drinking and driving as evident from the Administrative license suspension law which just rite after its enactment in 1990 there was a sudden 13% decrease in accidents involving crashes. In addition, after a reasonable amount of time after what I propose above is enacted any offenders must be jailed
