Drunk driving laws are already more strict than they should be. I dont advocate driving drunk but blowing .08 doesn't mean your drunk or even buzzed. I'm sure I've been well over .08 and could walk, talk, think and react better behind the wheel then half of the idiots on the road. You see a story in the paper about a "drunk driver" kills a pedestrian at 2 am. What they leave out from time to time is that the driver was only .08 and the ped was walking in the street wearing a dark sweatshirt. Alcohol probably had nothing to do with it.
Hell I almost hit some dumb ass yesterday at work. I was driving into the sunset and some dumb ass was sitting on the curb and I couldn't see him till I was right on top of him. Had a car been riding the line going the other way I would have been in an accident or hit the idiot on the curb.
Penalize the people who are actually impaired not the ones who are sober but had a few drinks.
