Or, to rephrase, 40% of fatalities are caused by those who are impaired? And we're all OK with this?
Again, and the statistics you have posted back it up, that the people doing the killing aren't generally those in the 0.5-0.8 range. There needs to be some real consequences for those that drive drunk. Obviously the line has to be drawn somewhere, and in my opinion 0.5 isn't it, but driving drunk and taking someone out other than yourself just simply shouldn't be considered collateral damage.
I wish that the focus would have been to adding some serious teeth to the penalties and deterrents, and not emphasizing so much on the 0.5-0.8 area.
