I know you grew up in the era of a drinking age of 18 and either no legal limit or much higher legal limits, but your statements are asinine. In this day and age to downplay drinking and driving at any level is inexcusable, just like their actions.
Texting and driving is worse than .08 drinking and driving. Most dui accidents and deaths are caused by drivers who are double the limit or more and/or who have had prior dui's. People like you focus on alcohol when other driving distractions, like texting, cause more of the problems. Your view is asinine.
"The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year.
"Texting while driving is 6x more likely to cause an accident than driving drunk.
1 out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving.
Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving.
Answering a text takes away your attention for about five seconds. Traveling at 55 mph, that's enough time to travel the length of a football field.
Texting while driving causes a 400 percent increase in time spent with eyes off the road.
Of all cell phone related tasks, texting is by far the most dangerous activity."
"Adults drive with too much alcohol 300,000 times per day in the US."
