so you are worried about the $200 ticket and there is a 40% drop in deaths in BC to drunk driving and you call it a fail. And this is why arguments on the internet fail, people ignore facts, don't like change, and are afraid of anything that might cost them money and are ingrained to there idea and stick with flawed arguments.

I'll save you guys from posting the next post of "your argument is fail", "target the worst ones". There that is your argument. I have agreed with stiffer laws for over 0.08 but you have to agree that fact shows targeting the lower range helps overall.
