    Just legalize it. All the money we would save on law enforcement and lawyers and jails and court costs could be spent on making safer cars.

    Also, it would be good for the economy because people would go out and eat and drink more.

    OK gang – here’s the deal:
    The ONLY thing which has been proven over time to “work” as to removing or excluding HBD drivers from the highways is sanction enforced education and court referrals to the original 12 step program.

    The basic reason the problem is ongoing is the influx of youngsters from each year group as they age into driving (and inevitably drinking beverage alcohol)

    To fix the problem once and for all, it would be necessary to eliminate any new drivers from entering the highway until the reached about age 30. By that time, the problem drinkers would have been identified and educated/treated/sanctioned/ into lifetime sobriety.

    Disdain, disgust and disparagement of current offenders is a feel good exercise – does nothing to address the root cause (new children)

    Execution for all impaired drivers? Wow, this guy is a severe victim of the MADD marketing and lies. So now driving with alcohol in your system makes you a murderer.

    fyi….drivers with BACs in excess of .15 do 99% of the killing. Sober drivers kill more than drinking drivers. Over 90% of death on the roads is caused by sober inattentive drivers.

    1.6m arrestees annually in the US equates to and 11 billion / yr economy, of which MADD takes a nice cut of.

    It’s amazing mouse, we have over 30m murderers that killed no one since MADD hysteria took over.

    MADD’s sole goal is Prohibition, one bad law at a time. Google neo-prohibition and get educated.

    This same state wants to legalize pot in small quantities (less than 1/4 oz.), supposedly to alleviate the court backlogs and crowded jails. If they only had DUI laws that made sense, there’d be less people in the system with 2 beer (.08) arrests.

    If this law passes all of us restaurant and bar owners might want to consider folding our tents.It’s the FEAR of not knowing(and not wanting to find out the hard way)what your BAC is after a bottle of wine at dinner.No one wants that “white knuckle” drive home with out knowing.Very very bad for the restaurant business,people will choose to stay home!
