This way you err on a broken breathalyzer and someone losing their car for 3 days and out some cash.

I think the error here is that there is a law going into place that targets the wrong group. Some numbers posted last fall in this thread regarding drunk driving fatalities; what percentage of traffic fatalities fall under what group:

So instead of going after the group that is responsible for the most fatalities, we go after the group that has the least. So now your social drinker who may have had 3 beers after work will now only have 1 or 2. However your drunky-mcdrunkerson will still continue with his ways.
