The problem with the nanny-statists is that they keep moving the bar.
For instance, for some drivers, it is illegal to drive with a 0.02 BAC already in New Hampshire:
Driving While IntoxicatedAnd the government has been putting out all sort garbage studies to support lower the BAC to 0.05, even 0.02:
DWI NH RSA 265:82 is a driver who is under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any controlled drug or has a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or more,
or if under the age of 21 a BAC 0.02 or more,
or if they are driving a commercial vehicle and have a BAC of .04 or more.
The many skills involved in driving are not all impaired at the same BAC's (3). For example, a driver's ability to divide attention between two or more sources of visual information can be impaired by BAC's of 0.02 percent or lower (3-5).Excuse me, but by BS meter beeps very loud when I read such junk science.However, it is not until BAC's of 0.05 percent or more are reached that impairment occurs consistently in eye movements, glare resistance, visual perception, reaction time, certain types of steering tasks, information processing, and other aspects of psychomotor performance (3,4,6,7).
I do not support .02 and I do not support moving it from .08.
What science do you put up against it to show something else? I would love to read what you have to offer.
Where are your BAC studies that show where impairment begins at .10 or .15? Lets see em? You call out junk science....what do you put up against it?
