Absolutely. That's one of the main things that I and many others who are in my shoes cannot figure out: why the loss of life by an impaired driver by vehicle is not considered serious. It is not commensurate with other crimes where there is loss of life. It's perceived as an accident and that it won't happen again. Well, there are four a day and close to 200 instances every day where people are rushed to the hospital. It should equal other serious crimes where there is loss of life.
