NTSB wants to lower the legal alcohol limit to .05

Post by USN_Hokie »

DWI prosecutions are big bu$ine$$ - it's completely out of hand and this will make it worse. The average person who blows a .05-.08 isn't any more impaired than the person arguing with a passenger, fiddling with the radio, or texting on their phone.

Need to lower drinking age to 18. And if pot is going to be legal by de facto non enforcement, then need to drop age restrictions completely. Likewise, until there is some means to measure imparted driving while high, need to eliminate BAC testing.

Agree. I think these measures to delay maturity end up pushing it out further than they're aiming for.

Yep. On that subject, I wonder how long it will take until we have "big marijuana" and Democrats decide they hate it.
