Hi diana g, >>Imho there is a failure to properly relate the concepts 'blood alcohol content' and 'degree of impairment<< Unfortunately a standard is the best mechanism we have for fairness. >>And it seems obvious to me that many people who are regular drinkers are quite competent drivers after a few drinks<< Better at masking drunkenness. Reflex tests show that 'regular' drinkers are in fact impaired much sooner than they realize. >>Also, other factors such as fatigue, prescribed medications, etc, can also have a great effect on a person's ability to drive safely.<< Correct and should be penalized. cf: long haul drivers. >>---I personally don't care what the cause of impairment is of the impaired driver who puts me at risk, and I don't believe that Draconian punishments for lower + lower blood alcohol levels will make the roads safer. << Agree 100%. It is the perception of the risk of getting caught that matters far more than raising the stakes. As in any crime if you don't think you'll get caught ...... all JMVHO regards Kastel
