Wouldn&#39;t it be safer to only allow one vehicle at a time on each section of roadway? The &#34;logic&#34; falls apart if perceived safety is the absolute end goal. &#xA;&#xA;I don&#39;t agree with DUI. I myself haven&#39;t been inebriated in about a decade, and I couldn&#39;t tell you the last time I had a drink. However, allowing the state to be the arbitrary morality police about BAC, plants in people&#39;s pockets, etc. is empowering them to claim victimhood against people who are otherwise causing harm to literally nobody. &#xA;&#xA;That&#39;s the premise in a nutshell.  &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
