Should the legal limit be higher???

[Sucky]

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

[Chief Pote]

Oh great...the next thread you start will be about the theft of some guys laptop. Think before you type sir.

Yeah, too late now. I'm glad they have regular DUI checkpoints where I live. Anyone planning to drink & drive here is just begging to get busted (as well they should). It may not stop em all, but they do help.

[Caseyguyrr]

absolutely not, in fact, it should be at .05

And Kansas is 75

I did it all the time when I was younger. Now, thankfully, my town has a decent cab system, and I also couldn't afford a DUI with my job. It's well worth the $8-10 in cab fare to get home from the bars. Of course, I'm only going to the bars once a month max.

Because if you're smart you can tell when you're drunk.

Having that said different people react differently to alcohol. There's a difference than being drunk and being able to defeat a breathalyzer test.

But there are those that do get drunk off of a few drinks. .10 seems about where it should be IMO. That's where it used to be and there aren't any statistics (from what I can find) that lowering the limit has "saved lives".

Did you move to Durango or is that just wishful thinking?

I never have.

I was always the DD.

If I wanted to drink, I stayed home and did it or somewhere I could crash.

I presume that he was being facetious.
