minus-squareSaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·7 days agoDriving simulation studies show impairment far below 0.08. 0.08 is pretty fucking drunk.
minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 days agoTBF, I think most drivers are impaired at 0.00. It’s been really bad on the roads lately.
