The National Transportation Safety Board recommends reducing the limit. Some say it would save lives. Others say it's unreasonable.
One drink could be the standard for drunken driving – at least for some people if the National Transporation Safety Board has its way. On Tuesday, the NTSB recommended states lower the blood-alcohol threshold for driving under the influence from 0.08 percent to 0.05 percent. What do you think? Is the proposal reasonable? About 10,000 deaths a year are related to drunken driving. The NTSB says the lower limit would save 500 to 800 lives a year.

There were 114 DUI fatalities in Massachusetts in 2012, which were 34 percent of traffic-related fatalities last year, according to Mothers …

How about really, REALLY hard penalties for people caught driving under the influence and proper enforcement of those penalties? Lowering the standard from 0.08 to 0.05 is not going to stop or prevent any drunk driving accidents. The man from Billerica who was arrested over the weekend on his 12th DUI was FAR over either limit and already had his license revoked. HE SHOULD'VE BEEN IN JAIL WHERE …   more ›
