A .04 is very easily measured by watching a person operate a vehicle compared to
that person at .000 on a test course.  (And yes you can be convicted at .04, but
they have to prove impairment below .08.  That's what the field sobriety test is
for.)

A talking on a hands free cell phone is at least a .10

What do you want the cops to do, give everyone a tailgating ticket if they don't
allow at least 4 seconds to the car in front?  Like 99% of the people will get a
ticket.  Fact is simple, too damn many cars on the road so the drivers need to
be kept stone cold sober to operate them as close as they do.

But since you think .08 is so low, why don't you ask the pilot of the next plane
you're getting on to get sloshed to .08 then fly you there!
