Washington (CNN) -- A common benchmark in the United States for determining when a driver is legallydrunk is not doing enough to prevent alcohol-related crashes that kill about 10, 000 people each year and should be made more restrictive, transportation safety investigators say.
Across the country in California, state lawmakers are considering measures that would expand the categories of high-risk people who cannot legally purchase or possess firearms -- including repeat drug and drunk driving offenders and people who violate domestic violence restraining orders.
