AdelaideNow... Girls quizzed as car hits house: "The 16-year-old girl allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of .129. Police expected to lay charges overnight."
The drink driving message has been lost and people go to bed and not know what is going to happen next. There is a house near my sister's with the front fence completely bent and mangled. Probably because a car came off the road at that point. Do we go..hm, drunk again. Kids just having fun. Girls' night out or do we actually try and get people to understand logical consequences for certain behaviour? Normal people are currently putting up with a lot. Insurance companies are bearing the brunt of drunk drivers. We need to engage these people in education as well as rehabilitation. We need them to make themselves better. A series of long lost weekends with the drug and alcohol abuse personnel might get the message home. Punishment seems to be ignored because it doesn't apply to them and they didn't mean to do it. Education , I say.
