YSR_Racer_99 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Anyone have a conversion for this, i.e. a comparison of their legal limit to the USA legal limit? I realize there's probably not an across-the-board limit for all of the USA, but isn't .08 something generally recognized. 32x over this USA limit would make you, ummmm, dead, right?

jonni black Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Five boys and a woman, who were also in the vehicle with 15 sheep allegedly stolen from nearby farms, were also arrested.so other than the driver they are claiming there were five boys, a women, and 15 sheep in the vehicle with the man?

I realize there's probably not an across-the-board limit for all of the USA, but isn't .08 something generally recognized. 32x over this USA limit would make you, ummmm, dead, right?Just divide by 10:We use % g/ml (or g/dl) in the US.1.6 grams/liter / 1000 = 0.0016 gram/milliliter0.0016 gram/milliliter * 100 = 0.16 % BACWhich is roughly double the US limit.Otherwise 1.6 in the US limit would be coma/death x 3 to 5 times.edit: did they really arrest the sheep?
