I really don’t think this lower limit will save any lives. At some point, human nature kicks in, and the thought process is ‘screw it, one drink already put me over the limit, so I might as well have another’...so who knows, the lower limit may actually be counter-productive.
At some point, the lower limits have to be recognized for what they really are - revenue producers.
If this was really about saving lives, states wouldn’t have diversion programs where you could buy your way out of a dui. Keep the limit realistic and eliminate diversions - that would be a pro-life stance. Instead states are pushing for the dui version of a speed trap.
If Utah puts 0.05 into place, other states will fall in line.
This happened years ago when it was 0.10, some states went 0.08 and then it became 0.08 for everyone or lose Fed funding.
Alcohol is the new Tobacco. High revenue generator.
No worries...people will enjoy themselves, out and about, high as a kite with their legal/illegal drugs - without a breathalyzer fear in the world./sad sarc
