A) My issue involved stricter standards (Lower BAC laws) for driving under the influence. To my surprise, I found many people against lowering the BAC laws. Many people argued there would be a great number of arrests. Some argued lower BAC laws did not decrease the number of alcohol-related deaths. Others were for lower BAC laws because studies showed they did decrease alcohol-related deaths.
B and C) Rick Berman, a member of the general counsel for the American Beverage Institute, believes lower BAC levels target social drinkers.
The NHTSA first argued lives were not saved from lowering BAC levels, but two years later they said studied showed that lower BAC levels did save lives.
D) I think lower BAC levels should be enforced. I think there should be a no tolerance level. Drunk drivers are killing sober drivers everyday so why not enforce a no tolerance level for all ages? I have an interest in the issue because I know of so many people who choose to drink and drive because they don't think anything will ever happen to them. I know of about 20 people who either died from drinking and driving or received a DUI. This should not be tolerated and stricter laws should be enforced.
