of course last night was new years eve where many people get drunk and some of them get behind the wheel afterwards.  i don't know the number of people who were killed or injured by drunk drivers in the early morning hours but when it comes to drunk drivers i show no leniency. i think for the most part are laws towards these drunk drivers are way too lenient.

It is unfortunate that many people chose to take the risk of driving under the influence, leading to potentially deadly consequences. However, there have been many laws passed to make punishments for drunk driving more stringent in order to try and discourage such behavior. Unfortunately, drunk driving still occurs, however the chances of punishment and sanctioning is increasing.  Nonetheless, it is better to take preventive measures and not drink and drive, in order to avoid the risks altogether.
