[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2158319, member: 8481"] When he is not driving that commercial vehicle, I expect him to be held to the same standards as everyone else in the country. When he is driving that commercial vehicle, I advocate lower levels...0.0% And I am not talking about drugs, just alcohol. I know, it is a drug, but it is metabolized by the body very quickly. Here is what I find disconcerting. You and I are both off the clock driving our personal vehicles. You are subject to .08 and I am subject to .04 just because I hold a CDL. I should be subject to the same standards as you, or a cop, attorney, firefighter, construction worker, CEO, nurse, cook, etc., everyone else in the country, as long as I am not driving a commercial vehicle. As stated above, I believe the .04 is too high when driving a commercial vehicle. It should be 0.0 Now, the .08 can be argued as being too high. Lower it to .06 as far as I'm concerned, but just hold me to the same .06 when I am not driving my commercial vehicle. Hold me to the same standards as they hold you. Or do you think that I should be held to a stricter standand, when off the clock, just because I drive a semi? [/QUOTE]
