The extremist groups like MADD have pushed lawmakers to increase the punishment of a DUI conviction until it has grossly surpassed the penalty for hit and run.
If someone is drunk and they get away only to be caught several hours later, the evidence of DUI is often gone so the worst they can get nailed for is leaving the scene of an accident and possibly some traffic infractions.
Very common around here.
