GTFO. She drove drunk.

It doesn't matter WHAT caused her drive drunk. She did and she killed 2 kids. Periodt.

I have an alcoholic sibling with multiple DUIs. He is currently going through his 4th or 5th (two were back-to-back & bundled together, so not sure how the court counts them now) DUI court process. You know the ONLY thing that has kept him from driving drunk during the years between his DUI arrests? The court-ordered breathalyzer system in his car. Unfortunately, it's not something that the court requires permanently because they require a lot of maintenance. When he has one, he has to go monthly to one of two shops in the area who is authorized to calibrate and download the data.

How the DUI process in VA goes... 
1. arrest & immediate loss of license for 60 days
2. license is returned & they're usually driving again before their court case because the cases are always continued, continued, continued (that's how he got a back-to-back DUI)
3. almost a year passes (or in some cases, a full year) and the case gets pled down because the police almost always fk up something during the arrest to get evidence thrown out
4. slap on the wrist is given... fine, jail time with all of it suspended, supervised probation, loss of license for 3 years but allowed to apply for a provisional license. If they wait out the full 3 years, they can get their license back without ever having to have the breathalyzer installed. If they apply for a provisional license & are approved (and they always are), they have to get the breathalyzer installed and are restricted to only driving to & from work, doctor's appointments, church, and probation check ins.

Then, in my brother's case, he'll do great for a few years after the breathalyzer is removed from his vehicle. No drinking and driving at all. Then he'll slowly start... 1 beer at dinner and driving home. 2 beers while watching a game & driving home. Until he ramps back up to getting super drunk & driving again and then he gets caught and the process starts all over. [/quote]
