    When will there be harsher punishments for driving drunk instead of judges giving them a slap on the wrist??

    After 3 decades of life growing up/living in the NY tri-state area, I never would've thought that moving out west to the middle of nowhere would be one of the best decisions I'd make in life. Far less people... Far less people "problems".
  • I don't understand. It's common sense. Don't operate any vehicles while intoxicated. Lock the driver tf up.
  • Guy may have been drinking but I dont believe it was an accident, go through a red light then go swerve up on a side walk into a crowd of people, nope dont believe it.
