He was driving like an aggressive madman if the allegations are anywhere close to being true. Who passes on the right shoulder?

Oy vey...is your whole thing just to say things that are blatantly false now?
Yes, of course it matters. As a central nervous system depressant, one of the key things that alcohol does is impair judgement and higher reasoning skills. that can cause someone to drive overly aggressively among many other impairments. Just because there's an arbitrary line where they can charge you with a crime or not, doesn't mean that a single drink won't impair your abilities and higher reasoning.
I get upset when people have a single drink and then drive because of the effects it has. I also get upset when people smoke weed and drive for the same reasons. There's too much at stake when you get behind the wheel of a ton of metal traveling at high velocity. Just plan ahead FFS.
