U.S. National Transportation Safety Board proposal to reduce legal driving blood content to .05%

This seems like a wonderful idea to further reduce the number of fatalities and injuries which occur in the U.S. related to drinking and driving - currently that figure is over 10,000 deaths per year.  Automobile deaths of children age 14 and younger were caused by a drunk driver 17% of the time.
