[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601964, member: 60724"] Caymen, that last quote you gave, I didn't say that. I hope you aren't attributing that to me, or your comments after the quote. As for your assumptions about who is or isn't being arrested under the PI laws, though I understand how you could see that IF the TABC is only arresting the "falling down drunks", and not worrying about the "just over the limit" guys, then sure, I can see your conjecture that there will still be "drunks" on the road. But it's still a point that requires two assumptions be made before the conjecture, and those points are: 1. That the TABC is only focusing on those that are "falling down drunk" 2. That its those "just over the limit" that cause more drunk driving accidents as compared to the more seriously drunk. I clearly understood those two points, and I agree that could very well be the case, but I don't like to hang my hat on things that require even ONE assumption to be made, much less TWO. That's why I said, show some stats, then let's talk. TJR [/QUOTE]
