More MADD madness 2880

YourAdHere It was at about this time that MADD began to move in a differentMADD's biggest victory on this front was a nationwide blood-alcohol

You are dead WRONG! Any scientific paper I have seen so far stated: ANY amout of alcohol extends reaction time-means makes driver dangerous to other road users. The problem is that "zero" tolerance would kill a lot of small towns where the only tax paying "industry" is local watering hole.Plus it would be impossible to prosecute and punish all the drunk behind the wheel. People keep drinking and driving because punishment is minimal and means nothing for lots of people. They simply consider it a "normal and acceptable" price to pay for pleasure of drinking and driving. If price was like it used to be in Bulgaria (if I remember right) firing squad, than lots of drunkyards would think twice before having "only one beer" before raming at full speed at busstop crowded with people. I'm fully for ZERO tolerance. You have any alcohol level in your blood you are drunk and must pay price - hopefully so high that next time you have a drink you will wait a week before touching a steering wheel. Or like in Finland where a ticket is a % of a of yearly income. So onedriver can pay a few dollars for eg 10 km-miles over the speed limit and the other might pay thousands of dollars for exactly the same. I remember one case that one of dot com milionaires was fined something like $250 000 for speeding because of multimilion yearly income.That hurts and makes a person think twice before doing something stupid, even a milionaire.
