there is a lot of evidence for things like crime that working on the small things help prevent the bigger issues. Take new york for example one method they use to lower there crime rate was to really crack down on the lower crimes, Vandalism, graffiti etc. and by working on the small crimes it lead to preventing the big crimes. This is maybe working on a small thing, but it is probably going to prevent a lot of the people who think they are fine and are really above 0.08.
i'm quite surprises by this board that there are so many people that think they should be able to have a couple drink and drive because they are fine and holding on to the 2% stat that they are targeting the wrong group. They are targeting societies views on drinking and driving not the two percent. If you think this is a cash grab like red light cameras then you are being stupid.
I'll give some advice that prevents all these cash cows
1)don't run red lights
2)don't speed
3)don't speed or run red lights at intersection that have camera's (not like they are hidden)
4)don't have a few drinks and think you can drive home
This is not a cash cow but a stupidity tax. Or maybe you can think of it as a luxury tax so you can enjoy your wine at dinner
