About this Quote

This quote by Frank Lautenberg is referring to the legal limitation of blood alcohol material (BAC) for driving in the United States, which is.08. The quote is stressing that individuals who have a BAC of.08 or higher are too impaired to drive securely. Studies have actually shown that at this level of disability, the ability to perform critical driving functions, such as braking, guiding, and preserving lane position, is reduced by as much as 60 percent. This suggests that driving at this level of impairment is extremely hazardous and can lead to severe mishaps. The quote is a suggestion that it is necessary to always drive sober and to never ever get behind the wheel if you have actually been drinking.
