“Wrong. It is as you describe because the police are after the most easily obtained revenue.”
Yes, that does play in. But there’s a lot of opposition, from bar and restaurant owners. What gets this legislation over the finish line and gives MADD their credibility are people like this clown - always getting to drive again.

You can think that all day long, but the fact of the matter is that if it were true, then our “legal” BAC would not have been reduced to .08 and MADD wouldn’t be pushing for still lower limits. Data shows that the true improvement in safety (lower number of accidents/deaths) was from .16 to .12, and there was statistically no improvement from .12 to .08.
What we have seen is a SUCCESS in educating the public and as a result responsible persons were able to know when they had “had to much” to drive. That breakpoint is usually from 0.10 to 0.12, however there is no money in that. So, we had to have a reduction to .08 to ensnare the same quantity of persons, while having no impact on safety.
These guys are tools, but they are nothing but that. The fact that these tools become usable for governments to advance is simply not worth it to me.
