Thing is, a guy driving 30 miles over the speed limit, changing lanes without a signal, cutting off drivers and breaking suddenly for miles gets nothing but a ticket as long as he blows under the legal limit.

You're wrong. A guy driving 30 miles an hour over the speed limit who is also cutting off drivers is going to spend the night in the drunk tank whether he blows a .07 or a .00. The police would ticket that guy for "reckless driving." His punishment is likely to be the same as the guy who blows a .08.

BTW if you knew everyone on the road had a .08 BAC, would you let your teenage children drive on the road with them?

If everyone was impaired, at least we would have a level playing field.

You really are naive. This statement led me to your profile and now I understand your lack of knowledge in this area. I hope you remain so blessed that you don't find yourself educated in these manners.
