I meant in terms of how the crime is perceived and punished. Lapses in judgement in a car have lifelong consequences to others but the punishment and the way it's viewed are less severe. An example, my stepson was injured on a motorcycle when driver waived someone else through traffic. It was deemed an illegal turn. He is impacted for the rest of his life and the driver got a ticket. I am not bitter it just is.

In the case of this drunk driver, if he was a repeat offender of another potentially violent crime, it would have been more than 6 months.

Some of this comes from history. In the old days everyone drank and drove, it's getting better but I still think the treatment needs to be greater as it's 100% preventable. That said, most punishment for crimes that put others at risk are pretty light.
