actually the topic wasn’t the law per se it was the threats of lawsuits and some in Washington D.C. treating Utah harshly. Go read the original post. I said I wanted to know who would sue and whom would treat the state harshly.
I am against drinking and driving. I’m also against criminalizing having a beer or a cocktail with dinner.

I understand perfectly well how BAC works. By your own admission you hadn’t read the law so maybe just maybe YOU ought the bread it prior to spouting off. Btw you did a magnificent job of hijacking the thread.

There’s been more then one kid whom has been injured, sick whatever thst have come home early and coincidentally have also been good ball players AND their early return has coincided with a need on a particular team. Hence the skepticism

One would think that caveat about cities not being able to do anything about was put in there knowing/suspecting that SLCo would likely choose south salt lake or WVC and logistically they likely make sense but if SLCo had said hey let’s spread this out to Herriman or Draper or riverton et al they’d already be calling the special session to repeal the law

Thanks. Would have taken forever to find and read on my phone screen so maybe the answer is to make it national and try these cases as enhances felonies?

And those are the kind of penalties we need and should have for drunk drivers. I’ve seen so many repeat offenders whom get s slap on the wrist. If they are willing to chance driving when they’ve had ten beers are they going to change their behavior and choices because the BAC was lowered? Statistics tells us no they aren’t

A laudable goal but is an estimation I would like to know what they modeled it on etc

Very valid points enforcement is a logistical nightmare for the law. Really about the only thing it seems to be good for is IF you are in a collision and can subpoena the phone records to prove a driver was texting and driving at the exact moment the collision occurred

D wth reduction and the other losses you mention are one of Thurston’s stated goals there’s scent empirical evidence to support his theory Again IF the proposed limit would reduce fatalities injuries etc that would be one thing.
