I just don't understand why there is no NDDA in the US that is politically influential and is able to get the general gullible population into a frenzy about losing their rights to drive drunk.
.05 seems to be the norm in most civilized countries, these days. I think a lot of Europe is .05.
One thing I always thought was that you could get a get out of impound free or cheaper card for your car being towed if you were drunk. as in when I was younger a lot of us working dowtown or close to it would go out for drinks after work. Usually a couple of drinks led to a whole night of hard boozing. But your car is somewhere you cannot leave it overnight, so it will be towed or you're going to get a huge ticket. So you decide to move your car a couple of blocks so it will be OK, then you decide you might as well just drive it home so you don't have to leave it.
If you could put it in a parking lot over night and pay a 24 hour fee or something would help, maybe you can do that these days, I'm not sure.
I know better planning would have helped but at the time no one thought of it.
