1) Draconian Laws by Commonsense on June 14, 2004 Since most drunk driving accidents happen at a bac of about .18 or above why did this need to be done? This law is more about generating revenue and giving ignorant people a warm fuzzy feeling. I would rather share the road with someone with a .10 bac that a soccer mom on a cell phone. Reply
2) 2003 Senate Bill 181 by admin on January 1, 2001 Introduced in the Senate on February 13, 2003
