In her case the law was followed, the Norwegian law.
In the cases here in America where people are killed; the drunk drivers are getting away with murder. The laws are protecting them.
The justice system here says that you can drink and drive and kill others for a small penalty, perhaps few years in jail...@ the most, other times no jail @ all!
We should have similar laws as in Norway; sending the message that if you want to drink and drive, get a ride from someone else not drunk, or a cab, or your dad, or your friend, or your wife, or your uncle Bob.
"This guy lost his entire family...all dead...wife, two daughters, and a newborn baby boy to a drunk driver.
The drunk driver got five years in jail, a fine, an infraction ticket, and a suspension of his licence driver for five years.
He should be out of jail after serving less than 24 months for good behavior and sincere regrets; he said he won't do it never anymore...he learned his lesson and he converted to Jesus while in jail...through the jail's church. Simply put he is a new reborn convert, and not a convict. All he's asking for is forgiveness and a second chance @ proving that he can drive not drunk."
Each case is fairly analysed by the court system on the basis of how good the drunk driver truly is, beneath it all.
If you think what I just said is too much, or is sarcastic a little, or is not what reality is...you are correct just a little. It is even worst than that.
Methinks that if you get caught driving while intoxicated or stoned, you must pay the price. But it just doesn't happen in our society here in America.
They wait till your car is @ fault, and it kills someone before blaming you of drinking and driving. Then if you are really unlucky, you might get five to ten years in jail and be out in two to four. The dead people them, they'll be dead for 30, 40, 60, 120, 1,000, 1,000,000 billion years, for eternity, without parole, without a second chance @ life, because their voices have been cut shortly by a drunk driver, and the children of the dead Mom or Dad will live the rest of their lives without Mom or Dad. Or, Dad or Mom will live without their beloved children...for life.
You take a life, you give a life...hard labour so that our taxes are not wasted. Something gets built; a bridge, a wall, a pipeline, a garden of vegetables, anything good for an advancing society...a chain gang work effort to build a bigger and taller and longer China Wall. ...By all convicted drunk driver killers.
If I was the elected school principal that's how I would run my district. Zero alcohol tolerance, not even when boating, and flying.
