This dude my uncle used to work with & he still keeps in contact with every once in while. This guy ultimately ended up doing 3 years in PA state prison for accumulating up too many DUI’s. I don’t know his overall number he’s definitely over double digit in total but some of them were in NJ. So not sure how many it actually took him in PA for them to just put him prison. But that’s ultimately just the times he got caught & somehow miraculously he never seriously hurt anybody or worse. I think he hit a few a parked cars & hurt himself a few times but never anything serious. So I’m guessing that’s how he kept getting away with it. He’d do some like monthly sentences in between there too in county jails.

The dude is ultimately clean now & has been for a decade now. He don't drive but not sure if that’s by choice or legal reasons. But it’s wild nonetheless he got that many chances.

Pennsylvania is pretty lenient as I recall. Virginia starts slapping pretty hard from the first offense.

I should say too his run pretty started in the 80’s into the 2000’s. I think his last one was around like 2008 or so.

I think it’s Arizona that’s known for being the strictest in the country. I think it’s mandatory prison time for first time offenders regardless of circumstances. I think most other states & for sure PA if you have really no history & it was a victimless situation they’ll enroll into an ARD program.

I’ve got a personal story, with something similar happening to a family member this last winter.

I know there would be pushback, but a built in breathalyzer before ignition… I dunno.

If we can put people on the moon, and such then there could be a way.

Have to feel for their spouses/kids.

Built in breathalyzer in all cars would save a lot of lives. Can’t really think of a good reason as to why they shouldn’t do this n

I think this is the most gutted I’ve felt at an athlete’s premature death in my lifetime. Can’t get it out of my mind. A toddler, a baby, an expecting wife, both brothers together, the timing of the wedding, what good natured people they were, and their total utter blamelessness.

One of the bigger smiles I’ve had watching the sport:

Tragically sad to lose one of hockey’s true good guys. My heart aches for the family. RIP Johnny Hockey.

And how just a little patience on the part of the driver could have made for an exponentially different outcome is devastating.

Killing someone while drunk driving should be automatic life without parole.

Pulled over for DWI should be PERMANENT license suspension.

Society needs to crack down on this shit.

Agree 100%. It's time to begin teaching our society & especially our children that it's not funny to be drunk. And the same goes for getting high on Pot.

Crazy, I don’t know how many of you are fimilar with oldmans township. i295 x 7 Pedericktown NJ.

It’s part of my route making daily deliveries, that whole area from 322 to exit 1 295

Very dark at night, farmland galore if you know you know. Plus mega warehouses

Huge , Walmart is building a mega warehouse 10x then ever before off exit 4.

Lots of celebrities live there. Carson Wentz had a home in Woodstown.

Ike Reese lives in Mickleton.

Plenty of people live in Aston across the River.

It’s nuts the truck traffic

I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often
