.01? That is bull****! So you cant even enjoy a nice dinner with a glass of wine without having to run the risk of being over the limit...
Is this a temporary change because of New Years or will it be in effect from now on?

Also, don't read into those arrest statistics too much. Those stats include "warrant" arrests of people with DUI offenses. So, if someone got a DUI ticket a while back and hasn't paid the fine or they skipped out on court they had a warrant issued for their arrest. Throughout the last few days cops have been going out in special enforcement teams to those people's houses and arresting them. Those arrests count in those stats.

At least its better than "click it or ticket" If people are retarded and don't want to wear a seatbelt, I say go for it. We're spending good money on this crap. "people die from not wearing seatbelts" And that stupid commercial that goes like "gosh if only jimmy had worn his seat belt he would be with us today."
It's all a choice.
Drive drunk.
Wear a seatbelt.

Take this scenario: Driver 1 pulls out in front of Driver 2 on accident. Oops..my bad. Driver 1 agrees that they are at fault. Driver 2 wasn't wearing their seatbelt and suffered severe injuries that would have been substantially mitigated otherwise. Should Driver 1 still be liable for the additional cost? I don't think so...but where do you draw the line at costs like those? By that logic you could also say "you're the dumbass with the $200,000 car, so it's your fault my $25,000 liability won't cover it." I feel that there needs to be a "line" somewhere, and the seatbelt is a pretty good spot.
