Comparison of Drunk Driving Penalties Across Countries: The Leniency That Shames Taiwanese Politicians

The article compares the recognition standards and penalties for drunk driving between Taiwan and major countries worldwide (including Japan, Singapore, the USA, the UK, France, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany), highlighting Taiwan's leniency in drunk driving punishment. The author strongly criticizes Taiwan's drunk driving penalties as being too light, allowing the 'rich to always commit drunk driving as a misdemeanor, while the victims' suffering doubles,' and questions why politicians dare not increase penalties, even pointing out those with drunk driving records serving as government spokespeople to attack Taiwan's inaction on drunk driving prevention.
