Unfortunately, very few drunk drivers who kill get 40 years. My neighbor in Santa Barbara had her 28 year old husband, who was in training as a road cyclist, killed by an alcoholic who tried to overtake a line of cars on the shoulder--which happened to be a bike lane as he wasn't on a stretch of freeway... and he got 10 years and was out in 5. This is all life is worth, I guess, in the land of the automobile.
