Maybe we should actually take people's licenses away too.

In most cases they do. The only way I can see that you wouldn't get a license suspension in PA for a DUI is if it's a first time offense ,AND you're over 21, AND your BAC is less than .10 (which used to be the legal limit), AND you don't have a CDL, AND you weren't driving a school bus, AND you don't refuse a blood test. If ALL these things don't align and you aren't using Saul Goodman then license is revoked.

Second offense with a CDL is permanent revocation.

Get caught driving (even sober) on a revoked license due to a DUI charge is straight to jail.

Except a judge can (and frequently do) grant exceptions for "financial hardships".

You can also get a restricted license back after 30 days that allows you to drive for business purposes (including self employment)
