Could you explain how those make things worse? I'm legit curious.

I remember a study a while ago about higher speed limits reducing crashes overall since it made people more cautious, and in general people drove whatever speed they felt safe with anyways. And then for lower speed limits, the deciding factor was stuff like consistency so if it's going from 35 to 45 to 35 etc (i.e. speed traps) that caused a lot more accidents than a plain higher limit.

For drunk driving stuff, it punishes being caught while drunk driving, which encourages reckless behavior to avoid being caught. The checkpoints are shoes-off-at-airport style security theater.
