It's about time! It SHOULD also include, losing your driver's license the FIRST time you are caught Drunk Driving! Most of those drinking and driving aren't worried about fines...but they WOULD worry if they couldn't drive anymore, and also put those things on their vehicles that prevent them from starting their cars, the breath tester! We NEED to crack down on all of those Drunk Driving!
