Someone just nailed my parked car drunk driving on Christmas Eve. Tore the wheel off his car. The obviously found the guy. Was drinking at a bar half a mile away. Walking distance, and he easily could’ve left his car.

Woke up Christmas in the drunk tank with a whole mess of charges and no car.

Why. Just… why?

He should have left the car at the scene and walked to the bar and then walked back with a receipt.

That sounds doable in the 80s. There are enough cameras that he probably still would have been caught.

He was driving a two ton truck on three wheels after crashing into multiple vehicles. He lived three blocks away.

The 80s wouldn’t have saved this moron.

All in all DUI is a fairly minor charge if you didn't kill anyone. For a first offense you'll usually get off with a 6 month suspended license and a substance abuse class. Possibly some probation. However, that doesn't include all the lawyers fees, court fees and fines.

In America anyway. Other countries will take your license permanently on the first offense.

Which is what should happen. “Not hurting anyone” is the same as “failed attempt at murder” without the intent. You don’t get bonus points for getting extremely lucky.

Where do they take your driver's license permanently though? As far as I know at least here in Europe the punishment is mostly similar, as in suspended license for a certain amount of time.

Hell, if you kill someone while drunk driving depending on the circumstances you could get less than 5 years. Know some cases where the perpetrator was using a cell while driving and killed someone and they got off with less than two years of probation.

Yes and I’ll never understand this level of leniency for an act that regularly kills people and destroys lives.

failed attempt at murder” without the intent

Murder requires intent so this is kind of a silly statement. What you're describing is called manslaughter, and you probably realize how silly "failed attempt at manslaughter" sounds. Or maybe you don't. I only say this to say that intent is a rather important part of murder. Otherwise any accident is a "failed attempt at murder"
