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.

I wholeheartedly agree. Lowering the limit will not get the dangerous ones off the road. Responsible drivers will be inclined to follow the lower limits, whereas the lower limit won't make a difference to those that don't give a fcuk.
