I know SA has pretty strong opinions on drunk driving. Where would you personally draw the line? The number I've pulled out of my rear end is three.

A one strike you're out policy just doesn't seem realistic to me.

If anything, it should make them even more accountable. If you're choosing to partake of altering substances like that, the burden is on you to not harm anyone else while under then influence. It would just be far too easy to blow over the limit if you decide to have two stiff drinks with dinner instead of one. Mistakes happen. After getting a DUI, I'd assume most people would be more careful about their drinking habits. Also, mass transit is a nice idea and all, but you'd need to demolish half the country and build it up from scratch to make it something you could realistically implement here in the States. And it's just not ever going to work in sparsely populated areas like you find in the middle of the country. Volcott fucked around with this message at 09:19 on Oct 9, 2014 |

ReV VAdAUL posted:Perhaps, as with teen pregnancy, preemptive education is better than punishment? Creating a culture where drunk driving is considered by your fellow patrons to be bad enough they stop you without the police getting involved at all seems the best course. What changes would need to be made to enable this? We'd need to find a way to weaponize shame, basically.

Millions of people have a drink with dinner, remain under the legal limit, and drive home without incident every day. A zero tolerance policy in this instance would be dumb.
