I'd say three months in a Federal Jail for first time, and three years for second. Second offenders have licences lifted and never get them back. Never. An accident involving a drunk driver should be handled as an attempted first-degree murder, if a death is caused, it should be (as MacGarret always used to say) Murder 1. "Drunk" should mean .05% blood alchohol level. Getting licenced should involve agreeing to take a bal test whenever a poly pulls you over and asks for it. Refusal should be automatic suspention of driving privs. Take that! -Barry
