Re: What is your position on DUI?
[ QUOTE ]
I don't have a clue if any of this is true or not. All I did was Google " DUI punishment laws countries". Australia The names of the drivers are sent to the local newspapers and are printed under the heading, "He's drunk and in jail." Malaya The driver is jailed; if he's married, his wife is jailed too. South Africa A 10 year prison sentence or the equivalent of a $10,000 fine or both. Turkey Drunk drivers are taken 20 miles from town by the police and forced to walk back under escort Norway Three weeks in jail at hard labor, one year loss of license. If the driver commits a second offense within five years, his license is revoked for life. Finland Driver is automatically jailed for one year at hard labor. Sweden Driver is automatically jailed for one year at hard labor. Costa Rica Police remove plates from the offender's vehicle. Russia License revoked for life. England One year license suspension, a $250.00 fine and jail for one year. France Drivers are punished with a three year loss of license, one year in jail, and a $1,000 fine. Poland Jailed and fined and forced to attend political lectures. Bulgaria A second conviction results in execution El Salvador Your first offense is your last, as punishment is execution by firing squad. [/ QUOTE ] Bad info. El salvador has no death penalty. They treat DWI like any other industrialized country, fine, possible loss of license. Remember, just because its on the net doesnt make it a fact. Bulgaria as well, part of the EU. I dont think they had an execution there since the 80's. |
