It's worth noting that the scene described in this article took place in South Dakota. That state probably ranks among the lowest in the U.S. in almost any social pathology, crime, etc.

I've said for a long time that a focus on drunk driving may not be a wise use of law-enforcement resources. I'd much prefer that governments address any problems with bad drivers, period -- regardless of what else is going on with them.

I propose that if you have an accident causing injury or death then there be a through investigation. If negligence is found to be a cause then you go to jail. Term being related to the severity of the injury. Someone dies and you go to jail for negligent homicide.
