The alleged offender in this case was 0.15....WAY over the limit, and of course
at such levels is THE factor for this tragedy.
Being an irresponsible tool with likely lame consequences from his behavior are the problem....the government would rather fine people, than pay for their incarceration for 30 years.

Exactly !
Changing laws because of the minority is what we do and it is completely ineffective.
Reducing the speed limit from 80 to 60 because somebody killed a lady driving at 120 ? How does that stop the idiot doing 120 ?
Reducing the BAC to 0.02 because somebody killed somebody driving at 0.15 ? How will that change the person driving at 0.15 ?
1182 people died on our roads last year. A large percentage of those would have been sheer unfortunate accidents. That means approximately 99.995% of our population DIDNT DIE and DIDNT kill someone.
