ATHLETIC ASSHOLES

[crash]

And, despite the fact that drunk driving fatalities have decreased by 50% since stricter DUI penalties were implemented and the legal BAL in the US was dropped from .10 to .08 (it took like 20 years of lobbying before states made the change).

It was lowered from .10 to .08 in California about 25 years ago.

Ahh ok. From the '20 years of lobbying' comment in the quote ^, I took it that it was not long ago.

It was also the same comment that led to my generalisation about Americans and rights. In spite of nearly all other countries that have introduced tougher gun reforms achieving less gun related crime and all other countries that have introduced stricter blood alcohol whilst driving laws recording less DUI related incidents and deaths, the US will still lobby the fuck against common sense so they don't lose a right..

My 'carry on' was simply that; I don't have a vote in your country, what you do doesn't affect me directly. It's just an opinion..
