If You Think American Drunk Driver Laws Are Tough , Consider This :

AUSTRALIA :
The names of the drivers are printed in local newpapers under the heading, "He's drunk and in jail."

TURKEY :
Drunks are taken 30 miles from town by the police and forced to walk back under escort.

POLAND :
Offenders are jailed, fined and forced to attend political lectures.

ENGLAND :
One year supervision, 1 year jail , $250 fine.

FRANCE :
Three years loss of license , 1 year in jail , $1,000 fine.

SOUTH AFRICA :
The penalty is a 10-year prison sentence , or the equivalent of a $10,000 fine or both.

MALAYA :
The driver is jailed . If he's married , his wife is jailed too.

FINLAND / SWEDEN
Automatic jail , one year at hard labor.

NORWAY :
The penalty is 3 weeks in jail at hard labor, and one year loss of license.
Second offense within 5 years , the license is revoked for life.

RUSSIA :
License is revoked for life.

BULGARIA :
A second conviction results in execution.

EL SALVADOR :
Your first conviction is your last . Execution by firing squad.

I picked this up during a recent driver safety seminar . Could be valuable information
when considering a vacation in a foreign country.
