You know that CA is going to be pissed that Utah is ahead of them on this...
How does .03 sound?
Meh.
Let's criminalize the folks who go out and have a glass of wine with dinner.
Lightweights are ruining it for the rest of us...sorta joking...sorta not
Don't get me wrong, I'm totally against drunk driving but .05??? .05 means one drink for a lot of people will put them either at or over the limit. If that's the case why not make it .01? Why let people think they can have one drink and drive? Say the bartender pours just a little too much vodka in that one drink and you get behind the wheel. No way would you be .08 but .05 maybe. Will they start handing out "wet and reckless'" for .03? Why don't they just come out and say drinking at all and driving is against the law?

If you would quit screwing around on RDP and get those autonomous cars finished we could drink and screw on the way home from dinner.
Copy cats. I'm 100% sure California will follow. We had this zero tolerance and 0.5 law for years here in British Columbia.
What they don't tell you, if you wreck your car while under the influence even with no one else involved on the road, you'll loose your DL for six months. Adding salt to injury, you'll have to hire a lawyer try to reduce any sentence the courts will decide to slap on you. MADD is more powerful now than Trump and Putin put together.:skull
BTW, I don't drink and drive, always a designated driver for my drunken friends.:drink
Why Not?????..................then we'd be just like most of Europe and considering your Political POV that should make you happyDon't get me wrong, I'm totally against drunk driving but .05??? .05 means one drink for a lot of people will put them either at or over the limit.

This is about money period. Stats presented here in Utah during the debate clearly showed that lowering the legal BAC does nothing. The problem is the penalty for DUI is not harsh enough, to many power drinkers driving around with multiple convictions. I'm 100% for keeping drunks off the road but this is not the answer. Now they're going the guy at .05 who had a glass of wine with his steak.
Uber drivers would be racking up some bucks.....Because this is not about safety GRADS, this is about revenue. If the limit was .01 no one would drive anywhere and drink, and the DUI revenue stream would dry up, bars and restruants would see a decline in sales.
I bought one of these at Costco, something like $60. You'd be surprised how you don't feel drunk at .08...or even .10...

Why even bother with .05? At that point why not just make it .00?

Right? Considering they can currently take someone in at whatever percent if they simply believe you are under the influence.Why even bother with .05? At that point why not just make it .00?
