Its not a cash cow or a scheme of the MADD lobby , its aimed at reducing the number of drunk idiots on the road that can end up killing people (unless its a U-turn, thats apparently fine).

That said I think the 24hour/impound rule is pretty dumb, although it would certainly be effective.
Thats ALL it is...it has nothing to do with lowering drunk driving or making people think about driving after drinking, because if thats what they were trying to accomplish they would go to zero tolerance.

This is all about the 200 dollar reinstatemet fee because if it wasnt, there would be due process afforded and not some disguised fine instead.
