At least in the US. Hopefully other countries do better.

dude, .04 is a joke and an excuse for police to harass. MADD ceased being about safety and has been money generation for decades now. This all has been a classic case of imposing new laws instead of simply enforcing the old ones, like gun control and some other things i can think of.

The legal limit is .08 in most places. It should be 0. There should be no alcohol in anyone's blood stream when they are driving, no exceptions.

You're as poorly informed as you are clever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because I don't think people should be allowed to drive drunk?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Neither do I, but that's not the point you've been making. You're still poorly informed on the laws, spreading misinformation mixed with what you want things to be

How am I spreading misinformation? Generally speaking the legal limit is .08 in Canada.

.04 is the general rule now, and this is not uncommon knowledge.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

According to my provinces website it is a range between .04 and .08.

I know, why are you telling me what I was bringing to your attention?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You're telling me I am wrong and spreading misinformation when it says on the website I am not wrong. If I am wrong so are you.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You gibbering idiot, you were making the claim .04 wasn't a thing before.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I never did, I said generally the limit is .08 and that is the truth. I concede that I was unaware it was a limit range, but you claimed the limit was .04, which is either just as wrong as my initial number or just as right.

It is most places. You seriously have no idea what you're talking about.
