John Key's right, I think!

If you don't drink and then hit the road, what have you got to worry about? (Apart from all the 'normal' dangers.)

Not a thing (except as you note)
Too simple, mate...

Yes - if they are in jail then they are not on the road .. but they don't make the choice not to drive - they drive .. disqualified, drunk, stoned .. whatever .... deterent sentences don't work for many crims ... they don't think they'll get caught .. ...

I have to agree given my Mums 5x convicted of drink or drug driving drove impaired while awaiting trial for killing her... and I just heard today that he was again convicted of drink driving just lately, so his year of Porridge for being a human hand grenade had no effect. The latest reoffence by paroled man P's me off - especially as his therapists seem to have fallen for his crap that he never caused the crash.
He blamed the oncoming truck he hit before bumping left, then overcorrecting when kicked by the passenger out of slumber, to cross centreline.

There should be a special needs sentence for killers who keep it up. Plane - Island.
