well, that is a relatively new in the law. nobody's happy about it. people want it to go back to how it used to be. what is more, there are no less deaths thanks to that strict law order.
I think U.S. laws are way more strict when it comes to that. hardly that anyone here would end up in jail for long time for driving drunk and causing death of another person. what I mean is, this law is on paper only, you could say, just that ppl lose their driving licenses for awhile and so.
it is difficult to erradicate something that used to be a sick tradition for a long period of time. I mean, Mel Gibsons everywhere, around here, not SUCH big deal...
