In my past life as an adjuster on the road I handled many serious losses with alcohol involved and I remember none where the reading was .08 or .10. Usually it was over.20. A lot of small towns make good money over pulling someone who had one or two beers over. I think that often is what pushes these new limits.

I do agree with having a device to lock out your ignition if you have been drinking. A am sure the habitual drunk can use another car or get someone to blow in the device but it still would cut down on the number of times that person drinks and drives. Even if not foolproof it might help.
