Seat belt laws have done FAR more to save lives..
DUI laws are revenue generators.
Breathalyzers are BOGUS. I couldn’t be happier for the people of Oklahoma.
If the breathalyzers had been unreliable, attorneys would have destroyed their use decades ago.
Hasn’t happened.
DUI laws have cut down on the numbers of people driving under the influence. They don’t get stopped in as large of numbers as they used to, because people are aware law enforcement won’t look the other way anymore.
I agree that not only seat-belts, but airbags, and better impact dampening zones have also helped a lot.
My estimate of 90 thousand saved lives each year didn’t take that into account, but I still believe tens of thousands less people are killed each year due to the drinking and driving laws.
I believe a person can request a blood sample rather than a breathalyzer. That may not be the case in all places, and it would require a ride to the police station.
If the guy fails the preliminary testing, this may be required.
At any rate, I appreciate the response.
