"DUI is less reprehensible than assault,"

Speaking as a person who has lost a friend to a drunk driver... I find that kind of statement utterly ignorant.

Driving under the influence is far worse, because if you hit some one it's basically assault with a deadly 2 ton weapon which is far more likely to result in death. Deciding to drive drunk is intentionally going out equipped with a deadly weapon which should be classed as premeditated.

Sentences for those types of scum are ridiculously low, that texting truck driver who was jailed for 7yrs last week for killing some one got of light in my book.

Meanwhile my friend had to suffer being burnt to death as her car exploded on impact and the scumbag who killed her got 2yrs. 20 weeks for assault simply isn't close to being good enough.

I have zero tolerance for the kinds of people who think drinking/texting whilst driving is acceptable.. they're all scum in my book.
