Utah set to drop blood-alcohol limit to .05, strictest in country

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. Okay, here's my (mostly) joke opinion: Buzzed drivers are the safest drivers out there.

No, I'm not talking about drivers who are completely sloshed out of their mind.

I'm talking about people who have had one or two beers, or a glass of wine.

Think about it: People who are completely sober tend to get complacent and lazy. They ignore the rules of the road because they're not thinking they've done anything wrong.

On the other hand, drivers who are slightly tipsy or have had just a little bit of alcohol in them--they become hyper aware because they don't want to get caught. And they're still enough in their senses to pull it off.

So they drive the speed limit and not a mph over it. They make sure to stay in their lanes. They are always cautious to stop at red lights and stop signs. All to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

Therefore, to make the roads safer, I propose everyone have a glass of wine or a single beer before hitting the road.

This all is sarcasm folks.

I'm just joking.

Sorta.

Kinda.

I mean...it makes sense, though, doesn't it?

I kid, I kid.


I think.
