If the feds decide that 0.05 is the way to go, and many countries have, then fine. But theres no need to Mickey Mouse about provincially to target the 2%.
Realistically speaking, theres really very little upside to targeting the 0.05-0.08 crowd when the vast majority of the problem stems from the .08 and up crowd.

Yes there is. They get $200 out of every person they "bust" in the form of a licence resinstatement fee (which is a fancy way of issuing a ticket that you don't have any legal recourse on) AND they get to look like heros, ie: Hey look, we're getting tough on drunk drivers,
and by drunk drivers, we mean not the drunk drivers killing people, but the people under the legal limit, that statistically pose little to zero risk to the public, but darnit, they have alcohol in their system so they're drunks and we need them off the road.
