If it prevents drunk driving...great. But you know damn good and well that the interlock device will eventually fail and cost a fortune to replace.


This is going to be a disaster. I wonder if it will be required on tractors, combines and lawnmowers.

The idea is to decouple people from personal transportation and to punish you for not playing by the rules.

THey're building a society where you have to behave according to their standards, or you cannot play.

Why not? Your privacy keeps eroding away, your freedom as well.

Also buried deep in the pages is a provision for the Feds to subsidize union dues. Guess what that is aimed at. Also, a provision that gives the Union man leverage over the employer in any labor dispute.

Looks like a lib prog orgy transcribed to writing.

How much is that jewel going to cost to get fixed after your 3yr/36k mile warranty runs out with another three years left on your payments?

If I want to move my car from my driveway into the garage after a few beers, will I be able to?

At least it will end DWI/DUI checkpoints and drunk driving stops, right? Right???

What happens if you’re the designated driver with a car full of drunks?? Will it detect if someone is blazing away on weed??
