At my job which is considered high stress it gets covered under WSIB.
Impaired Driving Penalty Changes
- Thread starter GreyGhost

You can accidentally speed (for instance going down a hill). There is no way to accidentally drink and then drive.
Can accidentally speed (missed posted signage). I've had that happen in an area ive never traveled in before; told the cop the truck to my right was blocking the speed sign change and I missed it. Nice guy, got off.
Isn't that a different scenario? Speeding was an accident and not a choice? @Evoex did not choose to miss the sign.

Isn't that what GreyGhost said from the beginning??
Going back to the original post:
Ford is conservative but how many judges etc are Liberal?
If a Liberal judge feels the mandatory penalty is too severe they may find the DUI not guilty to circumvent the issue thus making the situation worse.
How many uninsured drivers get the full hit of the mandatory fine? That number might indicate the effectiveness of Dougies plan.
The DUI driver can test the waters of public support by starting a go-fund-me to pay for his mistake.

There can be abuse of this law. Example; I took a glass of wine and a sober guy comes and provokes an accident, then they take breathalyzer tests and I come with alcohol in my system, I can get blamed even if I'm not at fault, now I'm on the hook for life? Like speed cameras, it sounded nice when race demons were going to get caught, then they started nailing housewives, businessmen, parents with sick kids going to the hospital going 55 in a 50 zone, ect.ect. All these laws are turned against citizens after a while.Finally something from Douggie that makes sense. Permanently affecting someone else's life because you committed a crime should result in permanent consequences for your life. I'd even be happy if they went further. Make the driver pay until they die and then take a portion of their estate. A permanent and lasting reminder of their bad choices in life.
Impaired drivers who kill a parent in Ontario may have to pay mandatory ongoing child support
The Ontario government says it's looking at new measures that would force impaired drivers to pay ongoing child support if they kill a child's parent or guardian.toronto.citynews.ca
It is not based on having a drink, it requires a DUI conviction. If you are driving over 0.08, it doesn't matter if a sober guy is partially liable. The DUI driver made intentional choices and now gets to live with the consequences.
