Yes, I know they claim everyone is impaired after the small amount of alcohol but I disagree, everyone is different, one size fits all.I can consume quite a before I am impaired..08 is a ridiculously low limit but it allows them to get people into the money racket based on what "might" happen.Someone causes a wreck and is actually drunk, okay they deserve punishment, but the harsh penalties for being over some arbitrary limit set by the government? not right.I think a citation, order to leave the car on the side of the road and call a cab would be much more sensible and warranted but then they government would not get to extort thousands of dollars from the victims of their oppressive laws now would they?
