the DUI laws that we have now are strong eugonh when they are enforced. it appears that no matter what the law is, your nephew intends to break it. i dont see how he is legally driving with his record.something doesnt add up with your story. 4 wrecks while intoxicated and only 1 conviction? surely he no longer has insurance, that in itself is illegal. you cant finance a car without proof of insurance.___most people learn their lesson when they get in trouble for DUI. to strengthen laws to punish the extreme offenders, can ruin the lives of some offenders who really dont deserve it.example- someone with no record, goes to a wedding, has a few drinks. not driving erratically. gets stopped in roadblock. is just at limit. he gets night in jail, several thousand dollars of fines , loses liscence for several months, has to attend DUI school, has to get expensive insurance (about 5X normal cost) for 5 years, gets police record, name in newspaper, possibly loses job(definitely loses job, if driving is required), has DUI conviction on record for life. thats just for 1st offense. many violent crimes do not have this strict punishment.
