Put it this way, would it be okay if the speed limit was set at 110 but cops could pull over people doing 90-109 and suspend their license for 24 hours (complete with a $200 reinstatement fee) without any due process?
Make the limit the limit, be it .04 or .08, don't create a grey area in which you remove legal rights.

if there's an appeals process then your really not removing legal rights, its enforcement in the same way that moving violations happen.
I get what your getting at with the Grey area thing, but you really can't compare drinking and driving with speeding.
Speeding is fairly absolute.
Drinking and driving isn't absolute, but to me its ok to have a system where you can get these guys off of the road if need be.
