I doubt if drunk driving is solved solely by a sliding scale of punishment. Nor is it remotely ok to drive while drunk in the US.

- dangus 5y agoI agree. In my opinion, drunk driving is solved by city planning. It's a fight and a half to convince most Americans that it's actually realistic for suburbs or even rural communities to have functioning public transit and walkable distances, even though towns and suburbs built that way exist in America (rarely, but they do exist). Rural towns with functioning transit and walkable distances include a laundry list of college towns. Suburbs with these features include a laundry list of inner ring and street car suburbs built before widespread automobile ownership. Nothing grinds my gears more than hearing someone say "people need to stop moving into my town, the traffic is getting ridiculous." It's not the people that's the problem, it's the unsustainable forms of development that are just seen as normal.
