It already is happening. It's in the bill right now. If it passes as is, it's a go.

Doesn't matter.
The automobile will become a rich mans sport, just like aviation.

And just like aviation, you'll be using their public transportation,
because you'll go where they want you to go.

This is the sort of creeping authoritarianism that bothers me a lot.

Are they going to stop doing DUI checkpoints because of this?

You fucking know they won't!

I'm sorry but all these dumb comments are a bunch of stupid and unrealistic scenarios that might happen to one in 30 million. You can what if what if what if just about anything into oblivion.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80694035


You're out of touch and probably male.

I made a similar comment regarding women who may need to make an escape - it happens more than you know.

But there are other scenarios that maybe you can wrap your head around, many reasons to need to be able to jump in the car and get somewhere in an emergency situation. Somebody already mentioned if you're out camping or simply if you're in a more rural area. Not everybody lives in the city. Sometimes you have an emergency where you need to depend on yourself.

Or what if somebody calls you for help? A child, a parent, any loved one that needs your immediate assistance. You've had two beers so now you can't start your car to assist them?

The thing is, there are much more severe life and death situations than a person who has had two drinks in an hour and a half.

 Quoting: roguetechie81


I'm torn by this. Feels like it's intrusive and will add to the cost of car, and just create an awkward situation.

On the other hand, this would surely reduce drunk driving by 90%. There will always be people who fuck around with it and bypass it, but not the vast majority of people.

What I would be interested in is the data that it records. You can guarantee it is something that can be pulled down. If you get into an accident is that always going to be reviewed?

It only is supposed to halt if you are at the legal limit, which I think is 0.08% everywhere in the US.

Re: Breathalyzers in all new cars passed in infrastructure bill
So the people that NEVER drink alcohol have to pay extra for this on their new car, and go thru that motion of blowing in the breathalyzer every time they drive, even though they never drink alcohol......


Yeah, guess I will just not buy any more new cars....most of them are fugly anyways.

In a short while there will be Breath Testing for Covid detection.

This is a fact.

My personal thoughts & posts are mine alone.
I Love God, Jesus, good people, and the U.S.A. the way the Framers signed the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
In my real world life I don't have a problem with standing up to those with solid evidence of corruption from either side, of any issue or place. Many are they in this world that need to be rooted out.
That makes me a target to be destroyed by very powerful people, I understand this.
At some point we have to stand up for what is right before God. I have done this, lived this way, and will continue to do so till they finish me off or I croak of natural causes.
