Proposed reduction in DUI threshold has some Jacksonville bar owners angry

Because it's an unnecessary, broad sweeping measure aimed to "fix" a problem that doesn't really exist (there is no epidemic of .05 BAC traffic fatalities)

that is an oversimplification....sure maybe the guy speeding down the road in the wrong direction has a BAC of 0.15...but what about the person trying to avoid the crash....I'd rather have all my cogniticve functions than even be slightly impaired

Meanwhile the new law prohibiting texting while driving allows for violators to be cited only if they're being pulled over for a separate reason.

from what I heard, that's not true...it is set up as a primary offense, ehcih means they can stop you for that alone

[tufsu1]

apparently I stand corrected
