When I hear 'super drunk,' I think of a super hero who's imbibed too much, much like Spidey here. In Michigan though, 'super drunk' is an official term for a kind of drunk driver.Starting on Oct. 31, there will be two kinds of drunken drivers in the state: standard and “super.”
Standard are those with blood alcohol content of 0.08 to 0.16 percent. The super drunk, a new category under state law, are first-time offenders who test at 0.17 or above. Along with the new designation comes super-high penalties and fines.
Here's the 'super' story, from Mlive.com.
Do you think fining and penalizing super drunk drivers more than a regular drunk driver will cut down on drunk driving incidents or is this just a way to bring in more money?

No I don't think it will make a difference. With all the press about not drinking and driving I think they already know the penalties and still think they can get away with drinking and driving. Problem is the accidents they cause are still worse than the penalties.
Yep, it's hard to put a price on a human life.
I wonder what kinds of super powers a super drunk would have. Whatever they might happen to be, they would instantly turn to evil if they got behind the wheel.
