Yes, the Govt does. The BAC should be 0.0000

As I suggested, though, impairment can be due to more than just substance abuse. Where would you like to stop? 0 tolerance for anything distracting from the ability to drive?
Re: Texas man gets life sentence after third DWI conviction
Ya, I understand MADD and RIDE stats as they have been regurgitated ad nauseum by many folks over the years. I'm not saying that alcohol and driving isn't a problem. The question is when does it become a problem. Show me some stats that say that driving wit a BAC of 0.80 is such a significant problem that we should spend millions of dollars a year dealing with it.

I missed the 4 - 0.04000 - Thanks for bring that up.
Yes impairment can come from a number of things.
Oddly enough most accidents happen when driving weather and conditions are great- dry roads, sunny days - nice day for driving- leads to complacency. Roads and weather are terrible- more people pay attention.

I'm well aware of your opinion on the matter. It would be nice though (considering that you wish to push your beliefs on others) if you actually posted some stats that might convince me that spending money (we don't have) on the problem is warranted.

Check Google- stats show the levels of scientifically measured impairment by low levels of BAC.

It can be sure. No cell phones. I've seen people rear end others while texting.
If people want to do stupid things, let them, who cares. But the moment they can reasonably endanger others while being stupid is when we should step in.
I'd endorse 0 BAC over ridiculous wrangling over a few points for where intoxication begins for what person.

Do you believe that drunk driving is not a problem?

I'm well aware of those stats. I was referring to stats about BAC and accidents. If we are going to throw people in jail or, at the very least, run them through a very expensive legal preceding, because of a BAC of 0.08, shouldn't we know if they are actually a problem?

Do you have any idea how many people are out there today on our highways who have no right (privilege) to be there?

As I've already said, the term drunk means different things to different people. You should be more specific.
If you are asking me if I believe people with a BAC between 0 and 0.10 are a problem, then I would have to say that I've never seen any evidence that says they are.

Yep, MOST of them...........I'd guess 75% of them speed on a regular basis and 50% tail gate on regular basis.

Not a problem in your opinion- BAC 0.08 and higher is impaired in Canada.

According to science, 0.05 ml/l is when judgement and motor skills (reaction time, etc.) BOTH become impaired.

He also did not have permission from the Gov't to DRINK & DRIVE, did that stop him? Are you naive or just plain stupid? -
Trolling continues to be lucrative......................catching the same idiot over and over!-

I believe that is the level that MADD wants. Some countries if I recall correctly have a BAC of 0.00
Using a bluetooth while driving does cause impairment.

With that in mind, isn't BC the place that yoinks your licence, and impounds your vehicle,
for 24hrs from the roadside without the due process of a court date, judgement, etc...?
Whoops...based upon 0.04ml/l

Yes, I think we all know what the law is. The question is whether it should be. Neither MADD nor RIDE have given any me any reason to believe 0.08 should be. I see you are having the same issue they are.
