Like a lot of things, a few morons screwed up everything. Really, really horrible DUI accidents caused these laws. And more sympathetic for the victims, I could not be. But 99% of all technically drunk drivers never have any problem at all. Its the 1% that head down the highway the wrong direction, pass out at the wheel, or try hill hopping, etc. that have us where we are.
And, the sad thing about it is that the chronic DD's that are usually involved in these horrible incidents are not really deterred from drunk driving by the fear of losing their license for a few months.
I'm glad to be here too, although I'd prefer to see a few more wild animals on the road and a few less cars.
