This IS about rights, but many fail to realize, they are supporting those that convolute their "right" to drive in whatever condition they so choose.
There is a problem with drunks on our highways, what other proposals are there to keep them off?
Maybe take the license of all sober people away for a year. That should do it.
I'll try just once more.. then, I'm off to bed. Cause, even here, no one seems to care about the real problem.
Do you know the average BAC level of all drivers arrested with a measurable BAC? It's 0.16 %.
Do you know the level of BAC for drivers at which the driver has a greater chance, statistically, of being involved in a traffic fatality than someone with no BAC reading at all? It's more than 0.10%.
There IS a problem with drunk drivers on the road... and, it is MOSTLY older men, who are repeat offenders, driving with a BAC of > 0.15%. THIS is a problem than can be addressed... easily, with the laws I have previously proposed.
But.. that is NOT the purpose of most DUI laws today. They are aimed at complete prohibition and/or revenue generation.
