I'm not much of a drinker, and have family members who have been injured, one severely by drunk drivers. I believe that making the penalties more draconian as intoxication increases would do more to make society safer than lowering the punishment threshold. I'm not saying that 0.05 does not equate to some level of impairment, but the serious accidents around here often involve elderly drivers, I know what I was capable of 25 years ago, and what I can do today, and the next 25 years will likely do more to impair my abilities than a 0.05 BAC today.
But hey I'll bet the attorneys and law enforcement support it, and the money needs to come from somewhere.
