I'd add "Mandatory and significant jail time for leaving the scene of an accident". A local lawyer just got off with a 30 day sentence after he hit a cyclist and drove off because he claimed he thought he hit a deer or rock. And this was after he admitted that he just came back from a function where he was drinking. The prosecutor was looking for a felony hit-and-run, the judge reduced it to a misdemeanor because "This could have happened to anyone." So, the moral of the story is -- if you hit someone while drunk, don't stop, just drive home and sober up, then claim you thought you hit a deer.
