Is it just me, or do you think DUIs are blown out of proportion and nothing more than a revenue generating machine for the city and state governments?

I drive ALL THE TIME at levels I know to be above .08. I drive better then because I’m much more cognizant of my fellow drivers, road conditions and speed limits as I know the added consequences of not adhering to each. As such, I’ve NEVER been pulled over or received a DUI for driving in an intoxicated state.

Surely there should be some reasonable limit at which there should be a penalty for driving above. But, .08 is only equivalent to having 3 - 4 beers for a 150 lb man. That’s nothing. NOTHING. The yappy woman on her cell phone or guy with blaring his radio puts his fellow drivers in more danger. Wouldn’t a more reasonable limit be .12 - .15?

Note: I don’t give a good goddamn about your “friend” killed by a drunk driver any more than I care about some stupid kid who played with a gun and accidentally killed his friend when formulating an opinion on gun laws. Each represent a minority. Considering either isn’t away to arrive a reasoned, thoughtful conclusion.
 
The only people who don't like the DUI laws are the idiots who drive drunk all the time, like yourself. And you do not drive better at .08. This is a common thought among drunk drivers like yourself. It's amazing, just amazing, that you haven't killed someone yet but that will happen at some point. The laws are there because of people like you.

Hope this helps.
 
"Are DUI laws out of control?" - Nope. The sentences are not harsh enough in my opinion. Many claim yet no one has proven they drive better drunk.
 
Just because you think you drive okay at .08 doesn't mean everyone else does. For someone else, it could be different. The laws are not out of control.
