0.00BAC? Maybe for you. I would frequent a road that bars only people who are obviously drunk that you don't have to test in order to know if they've had even a sip of beer because, well, that's what a sensible business would do. Barring people from paying you for your services because they don't pass a technical level without using common sense is just stupid. That applies for both BAC and speeding.
The mindset that people should not be allowed to drive based on the limits of an authority figure and nothing else is strictly an authoritarian concepts. You will not be let into a bar if you are too drunk, but they certainly will not stand there at the door with a breathalyzer to ensure that not a single person with a BAC exceeding a certain level gets into their establishment. It would be a waste of time and resources and stifle the freedom of everyone who chooses to frequent that place, which, after a while, I have a feeling would not be many people.
In the same way, there is room for common sense, but no road would, in its right mind, bar anyone from exceeding a technical speed limit under threat of eviction from the road. This doesn't even take into account the fact that roads, unlike bars, are a necessity. If you kick people out because of a technical limit, then you won't last long because nobody wants to feel like they are risking their ability to travel by going on a road with a speed limit that they "feel comfortable with." Running a business is about being adaptive and having the ability to gauge specific situations without having to apply a one-size-fits-all meter stick. No business does that unless it's in a very technical field, which driving is not.
