Guam - Legislation has been introduced that would reduce the legal blood alcohol content level from .08% to .05%. Alarmed by the increasing number of people driving while under the influence of alcohol, Senator Frank Aguon, Jr. introduced Bill 417.
The measure, entitled the amended safe streets act, would lower the legal BAC for motor vehicle operators. The Democrat says changing the level would send a serious message that impaired driving is not tolerated on Guam's roads.
