Who is the biggest threat? All of them. But nobody really think its a high crime for any of them until they hit someone else. Taking them off the street immediately is important. Making them post $100,000 bond is insane and only designed to keep them in jail. There is an amendment against bonds that are set too high. It shouldn't take a judge to get bond set low enough for a person to afford it.
You fail to get the point. All of which are a lack of moderation for behaviors and consumption. If you are becoming impaired to the point, that is where the line is crossed. Frankly I probably wouldn't feel safe driving behind someone weaving in and out of traffic, nor someone drifting between lanes. I would be undoubtedly be annoyed by a slow driver, but they are definately at the bottom of the pool when it comes to accident prone drivers.
Though on the prison system issue, I seriously doubt it will reform, due to the vast quantities of money being thrown it's way for every body that exists in the process.
