Have a look at these idiots...........

I'll agree with the $500 speeding ticket.........

If they fine tailgaters $1000

If they fine people going below the speed limit in the third lane $2500

If they fine people for changing lanes without signaling $250

If they fine jaywalkers $1500

ad nauseum.

Speeding on a highway is a relatively innocuous act. Tailgating, impeding the flow of traffic, and driving while distracted are far more dangerous than someone going 80 MPH in a 65 MPH zone.

Doing 60 in a 25, I will hold my ground on that $500.00 speeding ticket.
Depends on where you are speeding and if you have been drinking.
I think and this is just me but if someone gets caught drinking and driving they should have their car taken away. Doesn't matter if it is brand spanking new or you need it for work or you take your kids to school, tough luck.
If people knew they would for sure 100% lose their car for driving drunk there would be a lot less of it in this country.
The cars could be given to needy families or sold to gain money for the cities and schools.

So what is the penalty for drink driving in the USA ???

[Lady's Human]

DUI penalties vary state by state.

The reality is that they vary judge by judge, and lawyer by lawyer.

There are people who have been nailed for DUI repeatedly and have had no real penalty, and there are people who go to jail for their first offense.

Hmmmmm, not good.
If one gets done for DUI here....the book is thrown at them.
They can get all the smart lawyers they like....makes no difference.

Some people here Wom get caught 17 times drinking and driving. It is truly shameful.
My sister's ex drove drunk and ran over a Gas Worker who was working on the side of the road. He dragged him I think 30 feet. The poor man lived for about 11 days in the hospital then died.
At first he didn't even know what happened he thought he hit a deer and that is what he told my sister. He was NOT arrested right away which I found so shocking.
Jim was sent to jail for four years that was it, four years for killing someone a man with a wife and children.
He has his license taken away for life but that will not matter to him at all.
He doesn't think the drinking had anything to do with it. That fool guy should not have been working on the road, that is how Jim sees it.
Since his sister is a lawyer she probably got his license back for him, the whole family is in deniel. Sis divorced him soon after, she could not live with a killer.
Had his car been taken away I truly believe it would have forced him to look at his drinking and do something before this horrible thing happened.

It's in the genes mate.
I'd love to wander over into the right lane if it meant taking my creepy sister out

Wait!

I have a creepy brother and sister - is the car big enough for them to ride in?

I tink it cood be.

I see people run stop signs almost daily. I work until midnight so I have to drive home when all the drunks are out. My biggest peeve though, is when people risk your innocent life and cut you off, then pull into their destination not half a mile ahead. Um, you saved how many seconds?

Here's a bit of trivia regarding GREEN lights.

They are not really Green in the truest sense of the word.

Men do not process the color green very well, so the lenses are done
in an off green color.

Red lights?

I dunno!
