The car will print a ticket when you do something wrong. Oh, and much like diesels that won't run without that blue stuff- your car won't run until you change the fax roll. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80701502 Only until some people use too much mouth wash (alcohol) in the morning and can’t make it to work airport or hospital etc. Who’s going to calibrate for that? All you need is a few lawsuits The end One of the designs being considered uses a touch sensor with infrared lights that can be incorporated into the push-start engine button to detect blood alcohol level through the skin. Mouthwashes containing alcohol would not cause a false positive with those. |

User ID: 80658656 United States 08/04/2021 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They really don't want people to congregate. If lockdowns and destroying the restaurant/bar industry aren't enough, now they'll just herd everyone into drinking at home, isolated. Nobody should drive drunk and the law needs to focus on habitual alcoholics that really do drive at dangerously high BAC levels. But if they're going to harass the 0.08'ers then why not consider everything that can sedate people a little bit - all the prescription drugs people are on, weed, even just being tired or distracted driving. Or if you have anger issues, drive like an asshole, PMS, young, etc, etc, etc... And yes, the 0.08 is really arbitrary and most people driving at that level are not serious dangers, or dangers at all. Suppose your daughter went on a date, had two glasses of wine over an hour in a half when the guy suddenly attacked her. She runs to her car only to find that it won't fucking turn on. Even if she had nothing to drink, the time it would take to go through the blowing procedure would be too long in an escape situation. Also, those systems are imperfect and can produce false readings, and need a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Unjabbed and Off Grid |

THEY MAY BE ABLE TO CHECK YOUR COVID / VAX STATUS VIA BREATHALYZER !!!!! Dont think for a moment that they care about drunk drivers when many of the bars are closed. They may even be able to track you via markers on your breath. We test for H.pylori by using a Breath Test. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72579248 In a way they already do with all the emissions requirements. Cars would run a lot longer and cleaner if they weren't being strangled. That's what happened with VW a few years back. The emissions were tuned down at the factory and their cars were running more efficiently and Fast. Government can't have that. Government is the reason 100 mile per gallon cars aren't on the road because of Corporate Lobbies pushing Big Money. It's the PetroDollar not the People's Dollar Otter Woodman |
