Sadly, you are more strict than most. Seems like every time we have a horrific "drunk driver speeding on wrong side of interstate kills..." incident, a large portion of the comments on the story on the local news site are of the "c'mon, boys will be boys, and who hasn't driven a little drunk before?" variety. In the case of the tree lady, she is now charged with two counts of DUI (misdemeanor), operating an uninsured vehicle, driving with an obstructed window (that one's actually pretty funny), failure to report a property damage crash, and damage to village property. It still seems kind of light. Thank goodness it was a tree she didn't notice sticking out of her car and not a person.
