But, who is paying for this unnecessary addition?
If we got all the drunk driver's off the road probably 30% of accidents could be avoided , your insurance savings would pay for the contraption on your car

How about prosecuting people that get arrested for it?

Will cop cars be equipped with the same devices and required to remain in working order? How about all local, city, state and federal gov't operated vehicles? I thought not.

Classic comment. This is why we are all fricked long term. Doesn't matter if shite works. Just need to try something so we can feel better.
"If it saves one life!"
These people are a pox on society.
btw-Note that the NHTSA can force this themselves. Not a law passed by congress.
There's your "deep state". We are no different than the Euros being ruled by unelected bureaucrats.

Would this fall under the fourth amendment - unreasonable search and seizure? How or why can someone be required to use a breathalyzer if they've never been previously arrested, much less convicted, of this offense?

And the other 70% would be avoided if Suzy could get her head out of the phone for 5 seconds and look at the road

Your taxes will go up to cover the revenue shortfall.

Making cars out of stuffed animals and not allowing them to go over 2 mph would save lives.

People should just not drink & drive, freedom protected and problem solved! Simple.
Only if life were so simple
Options:
1. Do nothing
2. Aim to protect people from drunk drivers (ie, freedom for non drunk drivers and from drunk driver risk)
3. Aim to protect freedom for all (ie, no NTSB or any other restrictions)
4. Teach drunk drivers how to call Uber
5. Teach drunk drivers how to drive safer
6. Teach non drunk drivers how to drive safer
7. Other

I'm for it, if it works.

First COVID.... now onto the overreach item.

or, you know, DAs could prosecute DUI offenders more aggressively.

I seriously doubt drunk driving is 30% of wrecks. The vast majority are distracted drivers by their phone or radio or something like that

Bingo. Consumers will pay more for the vehicles AND more property taxes to the local LE agencies.
Terrible all around.

Can we do the same checks for senators and representatives before they are allowed to vote on laws?

why don't you just ban the wheel then Jennifer? Think of the lives you'd save.
stupid count.

Bahahaha. It wont, just one more thing that could go wrong and your car wont start.

If we are going full nanny state why not just make vehicles that are unable to exceed the speed limit too? I'm sure speeding causes a lot of accidents
