.03? That's [censored] insane. I'm glad I can still convince myself I'm not at .08 or whatever and just drive home, conscience free.

Also, #7 would be about double, and if you kill someone in a drunk driving accident, you should be treated the same way as if you put a gun to their head and pulled the trigger, as it is the same crime. FWIW, whenever I see a driver weaving, I pull up in my SUV and attempt to run them into a ditch. |

A call to 911 would seem a better choice. |
