Perhaps he is looking at high profile cases like Stallworth and Little, where they killed someone, and the penalty wasn't as bad as many would like to have seen.
So, uh, inhale after blowing the balloon into the thingie*. What is that going to tell the machine? *official technical terminology
after you exhale, you cannot remove your mouth from the breathalizer and you will have to inhale immediately right away.. the breathalizer is supposed to know if there is a gap between the exhale and the inhale.. if there is a gap, you will have to retest.. and this tells it if not an actual person is exhaling
I support this. It might stop morons like this: Man heads to jail after 15th DWI But I have my doubts on that. This guy should be locked away for 15 yrs min, but he only gets 18 months plus 2 consecutive 180 day terms, plus another 90 day term. A little less than 3 yrs... Wtf is wrong with people in jersey?
3-4 to be illegal, not to be impaired. Depending on the person, when they last ate, etc, ONE beer can make you impaired. There is no such thing as a "safe" number of drinks to have before getting behind the wheel. Surely no more massive than a possible 35% reduction in drunk-driving fatalities nationwide.
There is just inherent risk getting behind the wheel. Even if you haven't had anything to drink you will be pretty impaired if you drive back at 3 in the morning.
Personally, I think that we could save far more lives by automating the freeway system, but anything that keeps people from driving impaired, by anything (including cell phones, fatigue, etc.), is OK by me.
