Thats not a bad idea at all. Though I would prefer at least a month of jail time or community service as well, better to make them suffer that way than the one time payment.

its not deadly to the poor. to my knowledge if you get a dui rich or poor you, in pa, you loose your license and get a fine. The only leeway is driving training to reduce points and then it is 'removed' from your record, but both 'rich' and 'poor' can go. Secondly, if they are soooo poor why do they have a car, and or why are they spending money on alcohol. Maybe they should spend it on an education. Finally 'fatal society imposed debt', lol, your poor because you spent your money, not because society told you too.

I don't think a fine is the best idea. I feel that a stay in jail would ensure that people learned their lesson, and would be just as horrible for a rich man as it is for a poor man.

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. The charge for a DUI should be the lost of their suspention of their license in perpetuity. If a person commits a crime even a non-violent one he/she cannot own a firearm, if it was a sex crime even if it did not involve children they could no longer with or around kids. Why? To err on the side of safety. Some drunk who keeps getting his/her license back after he/she keeps paying off his/her fine and doing classes is not only a danger to kids but the parents of the kids as well. And with his/her vehicle can do a lot more than just feel them up or sex them up, They can cripple them for life or send them to the grave (which happens far too much unnoticed). So treat their car like a weapon. You get one chance then you are done, just as if it were a Glock 9 or .357. I bet within 3 years you will see DUIs go pretty much the way of T-Rex.

The poor will contuine to get the short of end of the stick in every aspect in life because they lack something that the rich have, and everyone knows what that is. end of story I have broke the law and went to jail, money got me out while the poor stayed in there with no chance of realease.
