You do understand that the .08 limit is not absolute and that the level of impairment varies from person to person?

It's not like at .07 a person is stone cold sober and at .08 they're magically impaired.

Some drivers may well be 'impaired' at .05, while others may not show any signs of being impaired even above .08.

I don't have a problem with police using their judgement to determine whether a driver, despite a low BAC reading, could represent a danger to other drivers on the road.
