Drivers who kill others...pedestrians and other drivers...should automatically do 25 years for the first offense. No plea, no parol.

In California a drunk driver with no other criminal record that kills someone gets ten years minimum and must serve at least eight.

I'll keep an eye on this one when it comes to sentencing or trial. Hopefully I was incorrect on the word "minimal". It just seems frustrating around here in the Kansas City area when a recent "distracted" teen driver got 2 days of jail for her accident that resulted in a death. And, another driver got 0 days, because her laywer successfully argued that her sneeze was the cause in the death of another driver.

I try not to dwell on every motorcycle death, but this one had the twist of his wife and daughter. Then, the story mentioned that he was a Harley rider that loved his bike, went to swap meets, etc.

And let's raise the minimum drinking age to 21! That'll STOP at least half of our issues with drunks on the road!

I quit drinking so I wouldn't kill and/or be killed.
