jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
The "Environmental Engineering News" published some rather sobering
information about punishment for drunk driving convictions in other
countries. In Australia, the names of drunk drivers are printed in
newspapers under the caption, "He's drunk and in jail." In Malaysia
the driver is jailed and, if married, the spouse is jailed. In the
United Kingdom, Finland and Sweden there's an automatic jail term of
one year. In Turkey, drunk drivers are driven 20 miles out of town
and forced to walk back. In Bulgaria, a second drunk-driving
conviction results in capital punishment. In El Salvador, your first
offense is your last -- execution by firing squad.
