I suspect there's more to it than this. For example, people continue to drink and drive, and rather than raise the legal BAC limit, it keeps getting lowered, as penalties get stiffer.

I'm still baffled at how a government that will ruin your life for the crime of blowing a 0.06 instead of a 0.05 continues to permit the building of drinking establishments adorned with asphalt pads to make it convenient for the consumer to park his car. 🤡
