Should the legal limit be higher???
 

Personally I think it should be, I drove home last night and blew a .10 and was perfectly fine driving ( my buddy owns a breathilizer)

Just wondering what you folks think

And you know that you were "perfectly fine" how?

No, the legal limit shouldn't be higher. You should be smarter.

Because he remembers it and he didn't kill anyone?

So you knew for a fact that you were over the legal limit and decided it would be a good idea to drive anyway?

:facepalm: Please let me know if you're ever driving in the Lawrence area.

But he made it, so he's cool.



FTR, I've driven when I knew I shouldn't. Difference is, I'm not saying it's okay.

We need a legal limit for stupid thread-starting.

Has anybody keyed your car recently?

I wasn't dazed at all. A little buzzed but overall I handled the driving very well.

Honestly I'm not trying to troll here, I honestly thingk the legal limit should be raised.

If you disagree I understand

Are you aware that one of the side effects of alcohol consumption is the impairment of judgment?

No, not really.

The science behind it is fairly well established to this point. For the average person, their reactions begin to suffer recognizable impairment at .08.

I'm not going to get into a debate as to the "I was fine" element because it's irrelevant what an individual claims. There are 12 yr olds that are better drivers than people in their 30s - that doesn't mean I'm lowering the driving age to 12 any time soon.

Laws have to be written with the average impact in mind. After a fair amount of scientific study it was shown that a BAC of .08 is sufficient to impair reaction times. That's good enough for me.

Personally I think .08 is too high.

Which would cause more outrage? Cutting speed limits in half or raising the BAC limit?

Good luck defending this position.
