Actually, in my opinion, .08 level is a little pathetic to use as the defining mark. .1 is probably a better benchmark to use and they used to use it around here. .08 is less than a single beer for some people, and I have yet to see someone drunk off 1 beer or have anything impaired driving wise. Tomorrow, it will be .06.
Anyway, what irks me more than anything about this is, driving with a cell phone is equivalent to blowing a .15 or .2, and yet we tolerate that??!!!
This is another case of PC gone haywire. Yes - if you blow a .1, then you are starting to become impaired and you should hang out till your alc level comes down a bit, or get a cab.
I don't personally know anyone who has been pulled over for drunk driving, but I've had a close call or two with a drunk driver, but this is nothing because I CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I'VE ALMOST BEEN KILLED BY A CELL PHONE USER!!!!
