Drunk driving punishments in other countries
The "Environmental Engineering News" published some rather sobering
information about punishment for drunk driving convictions in other
countries.
In Australia, the names of drunk drivers are printed in
newspapers under the caption, "He's drunk and in jail."
In Malaysia the driver is jailed and, if married, the
spouse is jailed.
In the United Kingdom, Finland and Sweden there's an
automatic jail term of one year.
In Turkey, drunk drivers are driven 20 miles out of town
and forced to walk back.
In Bulgaria, a second drunk-driving conviction results
in capital punishment.
In El Salvador, your first offense is your last -- execution
by firing squad.
