If you cause death by dangerous driving through excess alcohol?

this should be classed as murder and carry the same sentence life objective life! do you agree? if not why not
I agree you may aswell give a drunk driver a licence to gun down because they are driving a loaded weapon
Lock um up and throw away the key(see below) Manslaughter, not murder. 20 years. Life for Daily Mail readers.
As a country we decided that the "common law" would be upheld. Under the adjectives law if you brought your buggy into town and did not have control over your horses, you would be held criminally responsible.
You didn't need a license to travel, but you be responsible to not violate someone else's rights (like their right to life) by your actions.
The very fact that this press has been raised say that we no longer understand our foundation, our common law.
It is not that a creature is "drunk" that creates the crime, but that a person is irresponsible in their actions and that they violate another person's rights (such as the right to life).
So should a annihilation caused by "dangerous driving through excess alcohol" be classified as murder? Technically, no. Murder carries next to it INTENT and premeditation. Manslaugher? If it is first established that driving with excess alcohol is reckless, then positively. As ANY reckless driving that causes a death should be manslaugher--without or short alcohol.
It is all something like mens rea (guilty mind). Driving while drunk allows for a chance one may kill another just as much as rashly letting off a shotgun - manslaughter.
Deliberately pointing the gun at an individual and pulling the trigger with intention to cause serious injury - murder.
See the intent? Drunk drivers may put to death someone and murderers INTEND to kill someone.

Yes, its about time that the full power of the law be brought to bear on those who drink and drive,they are completely irresponsible individuals, and should be dealt a very severe sentence. The number of fatalities involved should be taken into narrative , if there are any , and life sentences passed for each one. For too long very soon the sentence hasn't fitted the crime, and harrowing scenes of grieving relatives on television speaking of the loss of innocent loved ones brings it to the fore again. People are not listening to the message and others are paying the price sometimes next to their lives.
DONT DRINK AND DRIVE!!!! It cannot be murder, unless the intent to kill someone was present and can be proved.
If the person charged next to Causing Death by Dangerous Driving and then freely admits to having the intent to eradicate someone, then the charge can be raised to murder.
The level of alcohol effect people differently.

Some people own a large capacity for alcohol and behave normal while others could take "high" on one or two drinks..
Zero tolerance would be the fair way of assessing wrongful death. If in attendance is any alcohol, legals or illegal drugs then the person driving should be held into in charge for his or her actions. How much alcohol or drugs would you allow a airplane pilot or a surgeon who is operating on you or a loved one?
Well I completely understand where you are coming from. But what you own to understand, valrik, is that there is a difference between someone who sits at their house and plans to go and murder someone, and someone who accidentally kill someone. Even if I have a loaded gun and I am drunk and playing around with it and I accidentally shoot somebody, it still wouldn't be considered murder. I am not saying that the law are perfect. I personally think ALCOHOL itself should be more strictly regulated and marijuana should be smaller number strictly regulated, but we have not made those advancements yet as a society. But when someone make a choice to drink that much, they should know that they could end up killing someone especially if they then prefer to drive. That's why I feel what you are saying. But the law allows general public to consume as much alcohole as they want and then leaves them to try to make decisions such as whether or not to drive when they are so intoxicated. I give attention to that a substance that effects your decision making process to such an extreme degree should be more strictly regulated. It should be more highly tax so it is too expensive to just drink tons of it in one sitting. And those taxes could be used to pay for the costs the community pays (police salleries, hospitals and ambulances, court costs for keeping an inmate contained by costody) everytime a crime is commited by somebody is under the influence. And there should be a limit to how much you can buy at once. In the State of Washington, because of the meth problem, within is a limit on certain cold medicines because general public are using it to make drugs... COLD MEDICINES.. If they can regulate cold medicine and keep limitations on that, later they could do the same thing with alcohol. And if they raise the taxes, then they would make back the money they would lose by placing limitations on alcohol purchases... so you could massacre two birds with one stone! Raise the taxes so that it is not so easily available to any bum who wants to find loaded go out and drive or cause trouble. And place limitations so that people who can afford it, aren't buying huge amounts of it so they cannot receive so loaded that they don't know what they are doing. I still just can't believe that something so dangerous is not controlled a little better surrounded by the society we live in. I understand that Prohibition did not work, but how about Limitation. That is what we beckon compromise...
