I have made north of 400 DUI arrests over the last 20 years. I can tell you from experience that at .05 most people show very little sign of impairment. It varies from person to person but I think .05 is too low. The idea is to keep people safe. I do not believe at .05 a driver is automatically unsafe. I did not read all the replies but did notice the a few about DUI being a revenue stream for the police. Here that is actually completely untrue. None of the fines return to the PD. We pay for the officer's processing time and court time. NO money comes back into the PD we actually have a budget line to pay for blood tests.
