Consequences
I was saddened to read a young family was decimated recently in Sydney by an intoxicated driver in a 4WD. I cannot imagine their grief with 3 of six children senselessly mowed down while walking on the footpath.
I jurisdictions such as Germany the consequences for such appalling driver behaviour are dire. Just injuring someone while driving intoxicated will see you facing massive legal costs and wearing an orange jump-suit for a couple of years, with very little prospect of ever driving again.
What's the bet the turd that killed those kids has a million excuses and gets off with an "intensive corrections order". There should be real consequences for such behaviour. It will be interesting to see how the judiciary handles this low-life.
