The National Transportation Safety Board wants to begin a new prohibition of types. They’re urging states to decrease the legal driving limit to one drink. This means that the legal limit on blood-alcohol content would be lowered from .08 to .05 “or lower.” The agency, issued this recommendation while still not quite knowing the correlation between the amount of alcohol consumed and crash risk.
While alcohol was on the top of their complaint list, they also want to outlaw all cellphone use while driving, even hands free. There are several reasons why this would be a bad idea. Not only would it hurt a lot of businesses who funnel millions of dollars into hands free technology, it would open the door for outlawing navigation systems, in-car computers and even radios. If it’s the National Transportation Safety Board’s goal to completely eliminate distracted driving, they would be getting rid of everything that comes standard in most cars now.

That is a state issue not the Federal Government issue.
ouch
they BRAG about the $10.000, that is so unsettling
I don’t think u should be allowed one drink
then the government complains as there is not enough tax revenue , which way do they want it. liberal toilet paper(a$$wipes)
It’s .08 in Indiana
Will the police also arrest one of their own? Or will the just call a family member to come get them? Not against arresting drunk drivers, i think they certainly should, but no special privilege for cops or their family members.
So pull all the Federal Gov. over and do the test on them, Most of them are legally drunk at 8am!!!
too many lawgivers drink and drive for this to happen.
Texas is .08 now, but the .05 is in the works. DUI is driving under the influence, the old DWI was driving while intoxicated. Influence covers alcohol and drugs, legal or otherwise.
