Exclusive: The Trump Administration Killed a Draft Proposal to Halve Alcohol Limits, Sources Say

In a surprise move, it has come to light that the Trump administration quietly scrapped a draft proposal that would have lowered blood alcohol limits for drivers from 0.08% to 0.05%, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The plan, which was reportedly being developed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), aimed to reduce the number of drunk-driving accidents on American roads. While the exact reasons behind the decision are unclear, some speculate that it may have been influenced by industry lobbyists or a desire to avoid controversy ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

It's worth noting that several countries, including Australia and the United Kingdom, have already implemented lower blood alcohol limits, with varying degrees of success. In the US, 30 states have laws allowing for ignition interlock devices (IIDs) in vehicles, which can prevent drivers from operating their cars if they've been drinking.

While the draft proposal is no longer on the table, experts continue to push for stricter regulations and increased education efforts to combat drunk driving. As always, safety should be our top priority – especially when it comes to getting behind the wheel after a night out.
