That's another of my pet peeves about drinking and driving punishment.
They are sometimes harder on people who blow over the limit than they
are on those who cause accidents and fatalities. There was a case up
here of a serial drunk driver. He had been convicted for blowing over
the limit more than a dozen times, so he got a couple years in jail. He
had not crashed and had not killed or hurt anyone, just drove over the
limit.

Around the same time there was a local woman who crashed her car,
killing her friend. She got 6 months of house arrest. WTF? We have laws
about BAC because we want to prevent worst case scenarios, and this was
one of those worst case scenarios.
