Here’s a question for you. Imagine that you had to leave this planet and make a home on a new one. There are two choices. Both worlds are identical to this world in every way except for the following difference:
In world “A”, every driver on the road has a Blood alcohol level of 0.15. In world “B”, every driver is texting all the time they are driving.
Which world would you consider the safest to drive in?
I would like to see DUI enforced just like speeding. Going ten over gets you a ticket. Going 20 over gets you a stiffer fine. Going 150 in a 35 will land you in jail.
We don’t need to get tough on “drinking” drivers. We need to get tough on “drunk” drivers. I’m safer with a BAL of .12 than the average middle aged asian woman driver in Seattle with no alcohol in her system, but they are driving legally while I would see my life turned upside down if I ever actually did that and got caught.
I always amazed the there are a lot of Freepers want more laws and more government control as long as it meets their agenda and not the lefts.

Rather than some arbitrary BAC number, there should be a standard performance test (reflex time, etc) that EVERYONE must pass.

Perhaps a graduated license and a road classification system to keep incompetent people out of situations beyond their ability
