Here in the USA a first offense DWI (DUI) is usually some probation time and a hefty fine. The second offense seems to be pretty much the same as the first with the exception of maybe 2 days jail time (usually considered as time served from the night that the "perp" was stopped) and maybe some community service.
Does the crime fit the punishment? What do you think?
