US native here, but this applies to everyone.

A single DUI should be the last time anyone drives. No exceptions. No mercy. No flexibility.

I honestly can't be bothered with how negatively it could impact their life. Should have thought of that then.

Catching them driving after the DUI should have exponentially increasing punishments. Severe to the point of probably ruining anyone's life after just 1 or 2 convictions.

It is treated FAR too casually by everyone. I don't understand. Ruin their lives, en masse. So many people that deserved to live died because people that deserve eternal sadness made an intentional error in judgement, many of which were guilty of other interactions like this before.

I cannot understand a fraction of why something this dangerous is such a "slap on the wrist" kind of deal given its negative impact on people who are, quite honestly, much more deserving to live.

Given how commonplace it is to hear about it, it's absolutely crazy to hear how low the punishments are for it. Doing something this terrible should in fact have a huge debilitating affect on one's life. And if we can't reach that, then at the very least the ones convicted of it should be dealt with harshly.
