And with great fanfare and pompous speeches our politicians and the mad MADD group lowered the "drunk" BAC to .08. That really solved the problem of drunk driving, didn't it?
During the frenzy to enact this last fiasco there was a local fatal accident where the driver has a BAC of something in the range of 2. something. A MADD spokesperson actually said that that was the reason we needed to lower the allowable BAC. With that kind of "thinking" we don't need these people deciding what we need.
Yeah, it up the statistic numbers.
The lower the BAC, the less meaning or value it has. I had blood work done back in the fall. My BAC was .04, the bloodwork was done at 9:00am. I had not consumed so much as a glass of wine or a beer in nearly a week, yet here I was with a BAC at half the legal limit.
