1) A lower speed limit means a lower death and injury rate. Presumably, your life has some value.

lololol.

A lower limit on BAC levels would also mean a lower death an injury rate. But if you've spent any time at all on some of FR's infamous pro-drunk driving threads, you know - without a doubt - that many FReepers are in FAVOR of abolishing all DWI laws.

After all, nobody but MADD nanny-staters are in favor of imposing drunk driving restrictions on us, right?

You would think that would be the case but it is not.

If someone visibly demonstrates an inability to control his vehicle effectively, and if that person is drunk, prosecute.

What freedom-loving people are against is the state's assertion that it has the right to stop even those who are driving perfectly normally, on the basis that they might be intoxicated. After all, if many people who have a 0.08 BAC are capable of driving normally, that means that driving normally isn't proof that one isn't over the 0.08BAC limit.
