Pretty Tough Already

Not something which really impacts me, but I think Pennsylvania's DUI penalties - for those unable to afford lawyers who can get them off of course - are already pretty tough. You only skate a bit on a first time offense with .8-.99 .08-.099 BAC. Anything higher, and any second offenses, and you're getting a 12 month license suspension plus other punishments. Not really sure more is necessary.

But, anyway, just about everyone who drives to drink will at least occasionally drink and drive over the legal limit. Not saying this is a good thing, just inevitable as long as people don't have other options.
