The limit was dropped from 0.08 to 0.05 on the grounds of impairment,
people at 0.05 do not perceive any impairment that's actually happening.
I doubt the argument for fines/suspension for exceeding 0.02 holds up to scientific scrutiny,
it seems more of a officious legislative way to enforce a no drink/drive policy.
The recalcitrant ones will continue to drink and drive, I say bring back target testing...
Or, just put alcotest/ignition lock software in cars,
provide a breath specimen or the car doesn't start.
