I'm certainly no expert, but I think that a lot of DWI legislation is political, like it has been mentioned, a "warm hug to voters" . I think the problem with all driving stupidity is that driving is not a peripheral activity. It is the first thing you should be thinking about when you're behind the wheel, not talking on the phone, eating a taco, looking for a CD, putting on makeup, or reading a newspaper (no kidding, I've seen it) ,or worse taking out your aggression. If you can take your driving seriously, which most people dont, even after you've had a few beers then I have no problem with you being on the road with me. What does everyone think of ignition interlock devices? One has to suck, then blow into a tube, not only for the car to start, but at certain intervals while the car is functioning. The sucking part I've heard, is because some jerk in San Antonio was found with his car wrecked into a tree, drunk and passed out with the the air compressor he'd used to blow into the device hissing in the back seat.
