.08 down to .05

Good thing the federal govt is so adept at protecting its citizens from 120lb women who've drank a glass of wine.

I wonder what the average BAC is of drivers who caused the 10k alcohol related fatalities? I'm guessing a little higher than .05.

Man I was SO gonna post that. How many fatalities occur at .08 even? Are these the drivers that should be targeted...seriously?

That's exactly my point, they're targeting the wrong people. How about targeting repeat offenders or people who blow over double the legal limit.

I'd have more concern over someone that's sleep deprived or texting or doing any of the hundreds of idiotic things that people do while driving than somebody who drank 2 beers with dinner.

About the same amount that occur at 75-80mph compared to 65-70mph.

Oh wait, this is the government trying to milk us on BAC. I'm looking for the government trying to rape us on speeding/moving violations thread.

Its .05 in aus been this way for ages now. Most of Europe has .05
rule of thumb is 2 drinks in the first hour and 1 every hour after that and you should be right. ( standard drinks of course)

Personally i think driving should have a zero tolerance alcohol is a dirty habit and i think most people on a aas forum would agree
