I think when someone DUI flees the scene they should be automatically kept in jail 48 hours, and I hope it’s a felony! Hope this girl gets her life turned around. Getting a DUI in ’02 or ’03 cost my daughter over $10K, BUT it’s probably saved her life. Calif. is very tough on drunk drivers & they have to go to so many classes, mtgs, pay HUGE fines & have SR22 for 10 yrs now? (went up from 7) I say be as tough as they can- it will save lives.
