National Transportation Safety Board
MIAMI, FL - MAY 23: People suspected of driving under the influence are handcuffed by police during a DUI checkpoint on May 23, 2013 in Miami, Florida. The National Transportation Safety Board recently recommended that states should lower the legal limit of blood alcohol content that indicates drunken driving - currently 0.08 nationwide - to 0.05. States determine the limit, but the federal government can pressure states to meet its standard.
