Tougher drunken driving threshold urged to 0.05 by NTSB
The National Transportation Safety Board urged states to cut the legal blood alcohol content to 0.05, citing international reductions in crashes. The proposal notes one drink for lighter-weight individuals and two for average-weight men, and argues safer driving with such a limit. It faces opposition from states and groups like MADD and AAA, and calls for incentives, ignition interlocks, and safer vehicle tech though timing remains uncertain.
