JRN 200 Lowering Legal Drinking Limit


TheNational Transportation Safety Board is talking about cutting the legal drinking limit for driving down from 0.08 alcohol consumption level 0.05, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The goal is to discover what other people think on this possible law change and get some information on the actual law. 

Interviews with residents of Michigan, Christina Briones and Kat Amalfitano can inform us on the public opinion of this possible law change. 

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said the probability of a fatal crash increases steadily with increasing driver BAC. 

Fatal crash risk increases substantially after 0.05 percent BAC and climbs more rapidly after 0.08 percent. At all BACs, the fatal crash risk is much higher among 16-20 year-old drivers than among drivers 21 and older, according to the The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
