Studies from the University of Utah, the New England Journal of Medicine and elsewhere show that drivers using a hands-free cell phone (that's hands free!) are more 'impaired' than drivers at .08 percent BAC.

Lowering BAC limits below the ubiquitous .08 percent will only fill our courtrooms with adults who, by current law and common sense, are driving responsibly. Policemen have better things to do than wait around to testify about a father who had one beer at a ballpark before driving his kids home, or about a mom who had a glass of wine with dinner.

And let's not forget the six hours policeman can spend - mostly on paperwork - just making and processing a DUI arrest.
