Do The Brits Have It Right?

While we were celebrating our founders giving the finger to King George, another George was apparently celebrating in an all-too-American way.

George Michael, according to reports, crashed his car into the side of a building this weekend. Police stated he was unfit to drive. Was he drunk? Dunno, just know the cops used the word, "unfit."

In 2007, Michael was arrested and had his license suspended for two years after he was caught driving under the influence of drugs. Was his license actually taken away for two years? Again, dunno. And, even if it was, suspending one's license doesn't mean that they lose the ability to stick a key in the ignition and put the car in drive.

Still, the Brits don't have the rep for being as lax as we are on convicted criminals. Here in the states, have you ever heard of a intoxicated driver losing their license for two years? Certainly not on a first offense.
