Here's a much better metric to see if BC's law has worked in practice: how many people were caught driving above .08 in the year before the law versus the year after. As many, many people have noted (with stats to back themselves up), it is the drunk drivers who grossly exceed the legal limit who cause the vast majority of alcohol-influenced accidents. Has the new law actually done anything to deter those morons from thinking they're fine to drive home after a night of hard drinking?
