I don't condone drinking and driving in any way, but not everyone with a DUI is a careless monster trying to kill others around them.
They may not be monsters, but they absolutely are careless. And risking the lives of those around them. You can sugar coat it however you'd like, but at the end of the day an intoxicated driver is making an incredibly selfish decision and choosing his convenience over the risk to someone else's life. It's that simple. Same is true of those sending text messages, or doing other distracting activities.
An interesting thing to note is that 15% of wrong way collisions are caused by people aged over 70, so I feel we should take away peoples licences when they get old too.
We should take licenses away from anyone who has proven themselves unable or unwilling to safely share the road with everyone else. I don't care if you were drunk, if you were txting, or if you just plain suck at driving - your reason for destroying my property or killing me is irrelevant.
yet the ones who are irresponsible and do it on a regular basis
Doing it once is irresponsible.
