Neo-prohibitionists are at it again

When she was recently arrested for DUI, Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg had a blood alcohol level of 0.239, about three (3) times the current 0.08 limit. I don't see how lowering the legal limit to 0.05 would provide any material benefits.

Lowering the legal limit would actually make things worse, because then she would have been driving at nearly five times the legal limit.

Tallpine, think like a liberal~  At 5 times the legal limit think of all the revenue she would be paying to the state, $$$$  A win for the DA's office, a win for her lawyer and a win for the courts.  She is the only loser in the deal.

Impairment is not the issue.  As mentioned in numerous posts above, impairment/distraction is caused by many things.  However, just because I am distracted or impaired does NOT mean I am causing accidents.  We need to admit as a country that you don't need to be 100% to drive as we ALL drive with distractions or other issues that cause us to not be at 100%.  We don't need to be harassing drivers because they "might" be impaired by a small amount of alcohol.  We need to be going after actual drunk drivers.

Driving my butt home does not require me to be a good enough to pass a some fancy driver test with cones and sudden turns.  I just need to keep it between the lines and stay awake.

It's gotten so I won't even drink a beer with dinner out if I'm driving.
If I get the ticket I lose my job. Even if I beat the charges I'm still out of a job.
