If you look at the data, .08 isn't the issue, it is the .15 on the X number of DUIs on a suspended license that is the issue. If you want to drastically cut DUI related deaths make your second DUI a felony with hard time. Anything else is just a feel good measure no different than trying to ban "assault" weapons after one shooting. Knee jerk feel good action that has almost 0 bearing on the actually problem
You can have your guns as long as you dont kill anyone.
You can have your beer as long as you dont drive a car.
I still think driving above .01 should be illegal.

I don't reply to many posts because I really am not educated enough about my Dmax to look intelligent.
I do have to weigh in on this though......
I have had two tumors removed from my head, I have a permanent hole behind my left ear. Like I needed another hole in my head!!:roflmao:
I couldn't tolerate the pain meds they put me on, getting sick to my stomach every few hours from the meds and vomiting.
I couldn't eat and the pain really never went away, although it was diminished.
I do not drink and have NEVER had any other kind of illegal drugs in my system.
To this day (13 years), I must smoke a little every day to be able to live with my pain........and I mean it is a terrible neurological pain. The weed almost instantly makes the pain go away, not just managable........gone.
At one point during this process I actually considered killing myself because of the DAILY unbearable pain.
Having said this, I must say in NO WAY am I defending the cracked out junkie operating the equipment that killed those unsuspecting folks. I am just sharing that there are folks that really need it.
Now a question for y'all that are adamently against weed........
Given a choice, would you rather work with a man that burned a joint last night or a man that drank a twelve pack of Bud Light?
I am educated and know MANY recreational users that do not drink or do any other drugs and function very well in everyday life. I guarantee you would NEVER pick any of them as a weed smoker.
The last thing is something I haven't heard one word about.........
Why the hell would the thrift store next to the collapsed building be open for business with the demolition going on? It seems to me that was an epic fail on the part of the thrift store.
OK have said my piece, time to install my injectors on my 3 year build!

I've never done any kind of illegal drug but most of my friends have. From my experience hanging around with them when we drink we drive fast and tare shit up, when my buddys are smoking weed they drive slow and look for fast food joints.

I know at least in NJ, they make it very painful for you if you get a DUI. And for those that it was a mistake and not a drinking problem, you learn your lesson. Figure roughly $10k after its all done, and you lose driving for 7 months. Thats a tough lesson.
If you do it twice, you have a problem, and more punishment won't solve a thing.
I agree they would have a drinking problem if they get caught a second time. However, if you don't punish them by keeping them in jail.......then it will likely happen again.......maybe ending someone's life.
I like the NJ way of thinking dealing with this problem.
Second offense should be mandatory jail time.
Being a former paramedic, I have witnessed first hand (more than once) the tragedy that is caused by the drunk driver.

Not really sure if weed should be legalized or not. Have known a few smokers and they were pretty docile beings while under the influence. However, heavy drinkers are the problem. We got a driver at work who does the 12 pack every night. Unfortunately he never gets selected for the random drug/alcohol tests. Just the guy that has been driving for a year and does no drugs or alcohol. He has been in 3+ times! LOL!
It isn't 10K if you don't care about your license, it ends up being 30 days in min security jail after about the 3rd DUI. But they don't seem to care, I remember guys getting busted for 6 and 7th DUI, and just spending 30 days sober watching TV on the tax payers dime. Get out and go right back to it within 2 months
Well yea, like I said, if you don't have a drinking issue and made a mistake like myself, its a 10k mistake when said and done.
If you are breaking the law already by driving without a license, then yea, no ****s to be given about the court that will just slap you on the wrist and say bad.
I think NJ is more substantial jail time for the third time,and then its essentially loss of license for life.
That's good, they need to make them do hard time, and more community service. But I know in TN it was something like 6 times in 2 years of driving with no license+ DUI to get hit with a habitual. otherwise they get out after their 30 days, go buy a $1500 car for cash and roll around with no insurance until they get popped again.
These are the people that are killing others

i am NOT against medical use. i am against rec use..
spent 9 years Navy.. alot of drinking went on my first 3 years..i drank so much i couldnt stand the smell when i transfered in 04 for almost a whole year
i know for fact that the drunk is highly likely to PTFO somewhere due to the hangover and the stone guy is going to work due to no hangover...
there is a reason why the USN made it illegal before it was in the civilain secture... people coming into work stoned caused more personaly and property damage then the drunks where...
still alot people get hurt/killed by sober people
I am a heavy equipment mechanic for a construction company. I have a cdl so I get DOT drug tested alot. I do drink on the weekends and every now and then a couple days through the week. Maybe 5-6 or so a night here and there. Anyways it never fails everytime I get alittle carried away through the week I get a random the next morning. That involves a piss test for what have you of drugs and a breathalizer. I have NEVER blowed anything on the breathalizer. So what im saying i guess is your dude at work would most likely be good also.
Different people metabolize drugs and alcohol differently. Just because you can get away with it doesn't mean everyone can.
