Put something that stupid in cars and people will put snorkels on and don’t care how stupid they look.

Just goes to show you how stupid people are, that would go to these lengths to drive drunk….when there are countless other ways to get home safely these days.

If an Uber was $50 round trip, you could do that 200 times in the cost of just your 1st DUI….that’s if no one was hurt or killed

between all the environmental regulations and stuff like this, owning a car is only getting more and more expensive for the common man.

Ding. Ding. Ding. The D Party doesn't want the common man to own a car. Only the Elites are entitled to private transportation. The common folk and deplorables need to be using public mass transit to and from their assigned job location and their government housing.

Yall must all love to drive drunk. Who cares if they monitor that. If it does save one life from some careless a-hole then go for it. Not everything is some conspiracy theory government regulation. If people would grow up and not get behind the wheel while intoxicated then this would not even be an issue. Take some personal responsibility for once.

I don’t think most ppl realize what the definition of “over the limit” is. If you go out to dinner and have a few glasses of wine, you’re probably over the limit. Go to happy hour with work friends and have a few drinks? You’re over the limit.

“Oh I never drive drunk” - actually if you drink socially, you probably do occasionally drive over the limit.

This is extreme government overreach imo.

And there it is.

Americans are perfectly fine eroding our privacy and freedoms little by little under the guise of health and safety.

Every person who doesn't drink and drive will have to pay $1000 or whatever it costs for this to be included in every vehicle.

And wait until this is extended to other things. Like maybe you shouldn't be driving after dark over the age of 70?

Slippery slope is slippery and you shouldn't have to prove your innocence to start your own vehicle.

These things need calibration too - so it's going to be an ongoing expense.

We’re seriously about to be the next Cuba. In 2042 everyone will still be driving 2004 Toyota’s and Honda’s.

We should be doing that anyway instead of buying a new, overpriced vehicle every three years and getting that seven year note. People constantly bitch about how expensive vehicles are these days, but every lot is struggling to keep vehicles on it. Stop paying it. Stop having to have every new bell and whistle. And start driving your vehicles until there's nothing left to drive.

Systems help prevent Human Failure,,,,,,this is premise behind systems and redundancy in aviation regulation. As a species, we haven’t been able to manage alcohol and drugs as it pertains to motor vehicle operations. And a fatality due to impaired driving isn’t the singular measure of failure, rather the number of times a person under the influence operates a vehicle is,,,,,,and therefore you cannot quantity how many “potential” injuries and fatalities could have occurred. And until we can change the impaired behaviors, systems best manage this. Until you’ve seen 5 dead people in a car, all of which are sober, and the other cars driver, barely injured but snot slinging drunk, it might be hard for some to digest this.


We have systems in place for this. They’re called law enforcement and the judicial system. I realize those two existing systems have become compromised to the point of failure, but I’d rather we fix the existing systems than introduce a new system.

Nope. They'll just keep taking the same money we've been giving them while doing the same shite job they've been doing while begging for more money as they implement more regulations that will take even more money out of the average person's pocket.
