If anything, these MADD people need to have their eyes opened.
Most accidents happen due to a combination of sleepiness, intoxication, inattentiveness, and DWRTIQ (Driving with a Room Temperature IQ)
It doesn't take much "driver involvement" to safely get from point A to B. . . .even with one of the above limitation.
However, if that one is DWI --look out. The "DrunK" is the easiest political pinyata next to the "Dead-Beat-Dad."
The .10 , or .08 rule *is* an arbitrary number. it keeps getting lower, as the political correct try to one-up each other. It's also good for the police dept's that get to impound and confiscate personal property for resale.

Good lord, there's truly some flat-headed nonsense in there. Drunk drivers are demonized precisely because the drunken driving is entirely voluntary and the result of a person's decision to have alcohol and then drive. That is, the drunk who killed/maimed someone considered the choice of having just one more vs. driving drunk knowing well the potential consequences. That drunk elevated his/her desire to drink over the possibility of maiming/killing someone later.
You're not both a habitual drunken driver AND a dead-beat dad, are you? You seem sensitive to these issues.....
