I'm posting this with caution, and ask that we remain respectful and refrain from getting into a political/religious hot mess.
With the recent change in Utah laws about the DUI limit from .08 to .05, and the emphasis on cracking down on drunk driving, will you think twice about your next ski trip to Utah?
Keeping in mind that most of us drink responsibly most of the time and that many of us stay close to the slopes with little reason to drive, how much of an impact will this have on travel?
According to this article on CBS This Morning, The National Transportation Safety Board has recommended a 0.05 blood alcohol limit since 2013, and Utah will be the first state to adopt it.
My initial reaction to this was, "What? Utah is crazy strict!"
But after thinking on it a bit, I don't see a huge issue with it. Choose a designated driver, or drink where you stay. There are options. Wouldn't we all like to see safer roads? I'm there for the skiing.
