have you ever watched Parks And Rec? Because Ron Swanson would not be advocating for further government power.

They want to do this shite, but we can't get a fricking IQ test requirement to obtain a driver's license? I'd argue stupid people driving kill way more people than drunk drivers.

Because it's the government getting bribed. If you bribe the government, it's called "lobbying" and perfectly legal.

Just like it's legal to craft laws that financially benefit your husband's construction or real estate company in California, making you a multi-millionaire.

Drunk Drivers definitely kill their fair share.

Oh horse shite.

If I can rebuild a mid 70s small engine from memory after a bottle of high proof while listening to music and smoking a cigar... I'm capable of driving after a few glasses of wine with dinner.

If drinking and driving is so dangerous, then I don't see why we don't have this.

But then I read this...

quote:

Intoxalock, a company that manufactures vehicle breathalyzers, has also spent heavily on lobbying in the past five years. It has spent more than $900,000 on lobbyists since 2017


Their equipment is shite and can fail just in the Summer heat. So even if you are sober, still can't start your car.

This will pair very nicely with the newly proposed VMT pilot that Congress has approved.

Now you get taxed for gas and get taxed for how many miles you drive!

It's almost like they're pushing to make everyone live in densely packed urban cities where you rent, not own, and give up personal vehicles for mass transit....

How about let the automakers figure out how to do bluetooth reliably before moving on to breath analysis

Why not take it a step further. Require a blood test to start your vehicle to test for opioids, meth, weed, etc.

Why not just make it illegal to own a personal vehicle?

This is your punishment for living in the south and needing to drive to work. You should be a better comrade and live in New York or DC and take the bus or subway.

Drunk driving is trashy. What do you have to hide anyway?

If you’ve done nothing wrong then the police should be able to rifle through all your stuff unannounced and with no reason, right?
