Is drunk driving really the issue that needs to be tackled at the expense of other driving issues?

How about more enforcement of distracted driving?

How about just watching any major intersection (undercover) and seeing how many drivers run a red light while tailgating the person in front of them because they want to be the last one to get the advanced left turn?

Or doing the same and watching how many drivers are making rights on red unsafely by looking left while making a right turn in front of pedestrians?

If this catches people drunk driving or the campaign itself reduces accidents, that's great. But this is something that will "punish" all drivers (due to being held up longer), rather than something that will just punish the law-breakers.
