Too many drugs but at least the doctor got what he deserved should have known better.
With all that frontage, a couple of pairs of stocks in front of the court might be a useful addition. Especially if they were allowed to be used.
Drugged and drunk drivers should have their vehicles automatically taken and sold, or scrapped if worthless as well as a ban and fine, or jail.
The money raised could be used to fund the NHS drug care and it would be an additional reminder next time to not drive whilst not fit to do so.
Courts are too weak and IF these people cannot be jailed then punish them by taking what they value.
