Really? Four or five times the limit and pulled over but not in an accident? So a BAC of .32 to .40 has somebody driving but not in an accident? Somebody would have alcohol poisoning and/or even falling down stupid drunk at that level and not politely pulling over w/o an accident.

This moron has a problem, no doubt, but he should stay home and not get behind the wheel and play Russian roulette with innocent strangers lives. That he got busted ten times and probably got away with it dozens of other times, and did not kill somebody is a miracle.

Absolutely correct. It's so simple, don't drink and drive, ever. I have zero sympathy for anyone getting a DUI.

Other driver and pedestrian lives matter more than the life of an impaired driver.

I agree with this sentiment as well. I am not especially religious yet also believe and try to practice patience and forgiveness...maybe part of Hebrew school stuck!?

It is never too late to change, but it should have become too late to avoid jail 7 or 8 convictions ago. Some poor folks have to hit absolute bottom before change becomes the answer. I've seen this up close. And maybe it would have been a blessing had he been jailed a decade ago.

No one known has been maimed or killed by this individual, but not due to any effort on his part...yet. Hopefully he will be released as a complete and healthier person some day.

I spite of having alcoholism and addictive family members and friends I always hope and pray for that day of epiphany when they quit. It is wonderful and anyone that quits has my undying admiration. OTOH, for those that have not reached that point, it doesn't require killing someone to come to your senses about drinking and driving. How many freeby crashes/cripplings/murders is society obligated to suffer until they lose patience and throw the drunk into jail?

Why not just make it .01 as a drunk threashhold? Zero tolerance.

Same for any defect in vision- take someone's license away.

Make speed limits 1 mph. If you are going 2 mph, Licensse pulled. Second speeding ticket, banned for life.

-No more drunk driving.

-No more speeding problems.

-No more high speed accidents.

The point I'm making, is if someone can walk to their car, get the key in the ignition, and make it almost all the way home without an accident, they certainly aren't drunk x 5 five times. Most DWI tickets arise from relatively mild traffic offenses.

-Changing lanes without a directional.

-Weaving.

-Speeding.

-Old tags.

-A head or tail lights out.

From that, the scent of alcohol causes the chain of soberity excersizes that many of us here couldn't do sober.

not defending the idiot that got 10 tho.. 😟

That is the disconnect I see.

This 10 time loser? He's 7 behind the Wisconsin champion which has tallied 17. He's finally in jail.

I've never had one and don't ever plan to. I have seen people like my bil that need to have dl taken away. I've also seen a buddy with modest means pretty much bankrupted after having pizza and a couple beers with me and getting pulled over in a speed trap. Barely over .08 definitely under .1 and will likely never recover financially given his income and what this is doing to his job potential. The government did a number on him. He should have waited for a blood test and likely would have passed it but still would have no license. He took the breathalyzer and is screwed. Too bad he doesn't have the income to mitigate it.

And because the cause (anti drunk driving) is so noble to speak out about such things is sacralidge. Beware of issues that become so holy. They often justify an extreme that normally wouldn't be accepted. They also generally kill any legitimate debate or discussion because one side can wrap the self in the evil of the act and avoid any logical discussion. Anyone that doesn't want bac lowered to .000002 just hasn't experienced the true evil of drunk driving and is a voice to be marginalized and discounted. Drunk driving kills innocent children you know.

Chewing kat is better for you.
