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. |
So let me get this straight.
You think the plan here is that by pseudo lowering the legal limit they are going to prevent people who are way blitzed from driving?
Riiiiiiiiight.
Not gonna work. If you are willing to drive after 10 beers what in god's name makes you think that having the limit be .05 vs .08 will make one iota of difference.
