My data on seat belt compliance, drunk driving incidence are from the NHTSA. Per se laws have been around about forty years and alcohol-related traffic fatalities have been plummeting ever since. How much of that decline is attributable to the increased ease of prosecution provided by per se laws? I couldn't say. Over the same time period, police have devoted increased resources to the problem and public perceptions of drunk drivers have changed - drunk driving bears a higher social stigma now than it once did. Still, it's reasonable to conclude per se limits have decreased drunk driving.

Considering the information about THC and driving out there, and the lack of a problem with drivers using cannabis, this surprises me. How did they determine the 5 nanogram benchmark? Rating: 5
