_________7. It’s time for the courts to crack down on drunk drivers. Often even repeat
offenders get small fines when caught driving with alcohol levels above the legal limit. But,
drunk driving is a serious crime and should be treated as such. Drunk drivers cause most
serious accidents, but all situations involving drunk drivers have the potential for serious
consequences. Drunk drivers threaten the safety of everyone on the road; cars are weapons,
and drunk driving is a form of assault. People should be responsible for their actions, and if
they choose to drink and drive then they should pay the price. Often the victims of accidents
caused by drunk drivers suffer long after the drivers have “paid their debt to society”. The
law should be changed so that all cases of drinking and driving would result in jail time and
vehicles would be confiscated. Then perhaps more people would think twice about drinking
and driving.
