I think a lot of the proponents for these sorts of rules/restrictions tend to be anti-car and/or throwing bones to their various transport unions, and don't care that they are overreaches or impractical.
- PragmaticPulp 5y agoThe article notes MADD (Mother’s Against Drunk Driving) as one of primary sponsors. MADD is notorious for demanding government overreach in reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption altogether. They have a history of ignoring any possible negative consequences of their proposals for other people, and this is a good example.
- humanistbot 5y agoNope. As the article mentions, the major push is from modern-day temperance organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, which was the major lobby that got the US drinking age raised from 18 to 21. Although you are right that these organizations have authoritarian impulses and don't care that these are overreaches and impractical.
