So, I was reading today's Seattle Times. There was an article about how Washington State dUI laws are getting tougher. Now your FIFTH DUI conviction can be considered a felony.
Shock Horror!
If they want to stop people drinking and driving they need to scare the shit out of people. Make the SECOND conviction a felony and suspend their license. I

I know 2 people who recently got DUI's and the Washington DMV is requiring them to install the breathalyzer machines in their cars at 60$ a week. One person has 2 DUI's and the other this is his first offense. I think the laws should be much stricter. It's a choice to drink and drive. Those who make the choice should pay a much steeper penalty!

Not related to your post at all, but I just applied for that position that you posted. It might be a little late, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I agree with you. Each time you f* up with drinking and driving is just another chance for you to ruin someone elses life. I wish people would think before they go out and drink.

When I'm a DD, I make sure to give myself 2 hours per drink I have so if I arrive at like 7 or 8 pm, I'm done drinking within that hour (and only partake in 1 beer or so).

Seriously people... control yourselves!
