I'm unconvinced that the rights of 30,000 dead (may they rest in peace) trump the rights of safe, responsible people who enjoy driving themselves.

There's no protected right to drive anywhere in the constitution. That's why you have to get a driver's license, why it can be taken away, and why you can be pulled over. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

How about the rights of the safe, responsible people who get killed and maimed because others are drunk, tired, or yakking on the phone?
