Is your concern dangerous driving or drug use in and of itself? Are you some kind of religious nut or something?

Please tell me more about my life, I’m curious.

You've chosen to take it to an extreme and act like the small change being proposed is somehow equal to your extreme suggestions. That is a logical fallacy. My point is that this small change will have no effect. Your suggested extreme changes would have an effect. They are not the same.

Oh my goodness yes

this is a good solution

For real. Driving drunk in a car you can kill someone easily, riding a bike drunk you can really only cause an accident, but youre unlikely to kill anyone but yourself in the process, it should be reckless endangerment of self and others rather than treated like youre driving a car

The person affected by alcohol consumption is not the same as distracted drivers, the fact you would relate a drug and a communication device shows your age and that you must cope and exist with alcoholic beverages. Ok Boomer.

Disagree.

By your logic, why make drunk driving illegal at all? Or why not raise the limit?

Anticipated consequences have a deterrent effect on decision making.

I've owned breathalyzers for fun and profit for many years.

0.08% is very drunk.

Ban cell phones, they cause traffic accidents too. And strictly speaking you don’t need a cell phone

I’ve crossed the bar a few times, even on the nicest of days it can be crazy.

Current, crazy high waves, wind, and tidal influence fighting the outgoing current all make for a shit show. I grew up crossing that bar a lot with my grandfather, in a fiberglass boat he built himself. Eventually, while crossing it alone, he broke his hip and would never be able to make the trip again. I've got a lot of fond memories fishing out there, and most of them involve dodging incoming freighter ship traffic. Once he lost his rip-cord while trying to restart his main motor and we had to crawl back on his trolling motor. The Coast Guard stopped to see if we wanted a tow and he refused.

Now I'm all teary eyed. Granpda died about a decade ago from cancer. His boat was half buried on his lot in Winlock, rotting and being chewed on by horses.

Given the government's history with indigenous people this feels like a trap.

Edit: Your Trump flags are getting ratty and torn.

Yeah, although I wouldn't think any national park would be remotely near trash. That said, Yellowstone can easily knock off a handful above it on this ranking. So is Denali.

We just sold a two bedroom one bath house, that had been our home for 39 yrs. You live where you can afford to. We decided we’d rather live in the city and put our money toward travel and education for our kids rather than live in the suburbs where I grew up.

You’ve got to decide on your own priorities

It’s funny how different peoples views can be. I remember watching a video list where a guy put Mesa verde as one of the worst few parks. When I went the ruins really captivated and fascinated me and I didn’t even go on the up close tour. One man’s trash is another’s treasure

I grew up in the Tri-Cities; it’s not so rural you can’t call a cab. I currently live in Pullman, a much smaller town, it’s also not so rural you can’t call a cab.

We (hubs and I) do not drink and drive. At all. Ever. If one of us has a glass of wine with dinner the other is having water or tea so they can do the driving. If we want to drink together we take a cab or walk to wherever we’re going so we don’t even have the option to drink and drive. It’s really not that difficult, and rurality is not an excuse. If your town is so small there aren’t cabs or ride share then you can probably walk to where you’re going. If you’re so far out that you aren’t in a town, throw a party, and drink at home, have your guests bring tents and RVs so no-one drinks and drives.

I get that people like to drink, and public transport in rural areas sucks, but it’s not worth killing someone over.

Yellowstone is only ranked 51. I'll take this list with a huge grain of salt.

But then how would they bring in as much revenue from DUI fines?

I am in full support of this and honestly I can’t see a reason to be against it unless you are an alcoholic. It’s pretty easy to not drink and drive and if that seems like it would be a problem for you then maybe you should take an honest look at your habit

Too bad it doesn’t matter at all since you can still be charged with a DUI even if you blow a .01 it’s the cops discretion.

I was referring to

“As a result, almost all of California has received between 400 and 600 percent above-average rainfall totals over the past few weeks, according to the NWS.”

Yep. DUI is when you get caught.
