The trouble is, this latest double-fatality driver clearly doesn't fall into the "beer after work" and probably not the chronic drunk driver category. The .5 law wouldn't have prevented this, and clearly the possibility of killing her friend and an innocent driver weren't considered.
That's exactly why the law needs more teeth to nail the people who drink and drive. Not the people between .5 and .8, but I don't really care that someone make the decision to endanger others once or twenty times. They're just a selfish pile of excrement and don't deserve the right to drive.
Anyway - this stuff pisses me off so I'm going away for a bit.
This thread is obviously about the .5 rules, and in this case, it isn't really applicable. I'd be shocked if her blood alcohol level was .6 or something.
