katlaughing, a slight correction to your post above detailing penalties for this offence around the world.

"in Norway, one's license is suspended for 3 months;"

Slightly more stringent than that:

1. Automatic jail sentence 3 weeks for first offence, no appeal, no remission.

2. Compulsory fine in addition to the above, level of fine equates to 25% of your gross annual salary.

3. Loss of license for one year with retest at the end of that period.

4. Extremely high insurance rates for people with a DD conviction on record - does not elapse with passage of time.
