The drunk driving incidents that make the headlines are the ones where the driver is far beyond the .08 limit. Usually they are 2 to 3 times that limit. Lowering the limit Will make absolutely no difference except how much money changes hands. Around here, a first time DUI will cost you about $7000. 2/3 of that goes to the lawyer.
Like most laws, these laws seldom do anything at all to change the problem. You should spend a day in a misdemeanor court room sometime and see firsthand just how much a waste of time most law-enforcement is.
