Well, it was .20, then .15, then .12, then .10, then .08.
MADD is pressing now for .05.
The reality is, if you get stopped, it is 0.00.
Now what?
cabs...........it’s what’s for dinner
Now what you ask?
Now there will be fewer people MURDERED at the hands of irresponsible drunk drivers.
Don't drink. Problem solved...

(BTW, the above does not mean that I agree with this this forced blood test madness -- in my beloved Texas, no less!)
Well, I live in Harris County, so this directly affects me.
First, I take public transport almost everywhere. Second, my home is within walking distance of my favorite watering hole. I *never* drive there.
BUT
I can never keep up with what the legal limit is this month. .05? I don’t even know how to relate that to number of drinks, but it sounds like a glass of wine.
I’ve had to call 911 four times in the last 8 months. The first time I called someone drove into our neighbors pick-up. The driver’s pick-up was wedged underneath and he was prying it out with a tire iron. It took the police 40 minutes to show, and only *after* they called us back asking for directions. The guys front end was destroyed and when he drove away you could see a thick black trail on the road. The police said, “Well, he’s gone now. I guess that’s that.” My wife pointed out that they could follow the big black tire marks.
I call 911 on drunks whenever I see them. The police don’t seem to care. I’m afraid they’ll use this power to intimidate whomever they choose and let the drunks free range.
