Summary

<p>This paper argues for an established Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) cut-off for impaired driving at 0.05%, aka 0.05 g/dl, for drivers in the United States. This argument is backed by scientific evidence collected over many years and multiple countries using crash data and fatality data; we shall provide an example from our own research as well. We will demonstrate that this cut-off can be effectively enforced at the roadside by law enforcement officers, both in terms of breathalyzer use and field sobriety testing.</p>
