We the people of the United States of America hereby request our Elected Officials to legislate harsher penalties for Drunk Drivers. Please keep in mind these tragedies are not "accidents" as often called by the media as well as our system . An accident brings no criminal charges or arrests. When someone drinks that is a choice, not an accident. When someone drives they made a choice to get behind the wheel of a car and drive. Based upon the many repeat offenders the penalties need to change and be harsher. If first time convicted DUI carried a harsher penalty perhaps more people might think before drinking and driving and risking lives. We understand the sad yet standard " Over crowding" response and , believe house arrest with NO driving privileges for first time offenders
