Personally I don't think the DUI laws are enforced enough, and .08 works for me, but then I have personal experience with DUIs. My wife, my daughter (our only child) and my son-in-law were killed by a drunk driver that only had a couple of beers. His BA was 0.1. He crossed the center line and hit my family head on, and killed them instantly. It was nothing short of a miracle that my grandson survived unhurt, but he is now forced to live without his mother, father and his grandmother (not to mention that he is being raised by me, his grandfather). Te man that killed my family had FOUR DUI CONVICTIONS IN FIVE YEARS yet he never spent more than 30 days in jail. He was driving on a suspended license because he just had to have a way to get back and forth to work (not to mention a way to get his beer). He was convicted of intoxication manslaughter and is currently serving a four year sentence. Whoopie fuck, four whole years. My grandson will be nine when this killer gets out of prison and my grandson will still have to visit his mom and dad at the cemetary and ask his grandfather if mommy and daddy miss him in heaven.
I say lock the DUIs up for a first offense before they kill someone (assuming they didn't kill someone the first time).
Let's see the bleeding hearts put a tourniquet on that one.
