It’s heading down to 0.05% and then 0.03%. CDC is already pushing for it.
And in Sweden it is 0.01%.
Confiscatory fines at their finest.
As I remember at one time in states it was .12. I thought that was a fair decision. Now I don't promote someone to get to that level. It is just that like in government if they can suck more control & money from you they will do it. That's my issue. Same for pharma. When people got their cholesterol levels down to what was recommended & they couldn't sell ant more products, they lowered it & they are still going further, which is totally unhealthy.
About 20 years ago when these standards were being set the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tested NASCAR drivers at various BAC levels in controlled driving tests. The results were that at .01 to .04 they actually drove better. It was at .07 that things went really went downhill. That created the push for the .08 level.
That would mean not driving for a few hours after eating a single maraschino cherry.
