Just look at how different Hawaii is different from Georgia. If you lived in Hawaii would want to change these rule to be the same as Georgia or a longer time? Or if you live in Georgia would you want them to be the same as Hawaii or a shorter time?

  1. Hawaii compared to Georgia doesn't have very strict laws on on drinking and driving. They should be enforces these laws a lot more and make the punishment more sever to stop drinking and driving.

  2. I think that these two states have both good and bad ideas, but the should find a inbetween. If you combined these two kinds of punishments, i think it would be very fair.

  3. I don't think that Hawaii has anywhere as many cars as Georgia so it makes sense that the laws aren't as strict.

  4. I don't think the laws should be this different in different states, because it isn't fair to those who live in other states and also could encourage more drinking and driving if the punishment is not too severe.

  5. As a citizen, I would want Georgias laws. If I was a victim of a drunk driver, or knew someone affected by a drunk driver, I would the most justice possible

  8. I think Georgia's laws are a bit too dirastic for the situation. The should make the fine alittle less, and the hours in jail a lot less.
