If this is not the stupidest thing ive ever read. Yea, thats going to stop drunks. Make cars more expensive, and others rich. Someone will create a simple car, plug in , air pump that will pump clean air in the brethalizer tube. Duh. They have found ways around drug tests, this one is going to be an easy one.

I just thought about it. I can, right this min., make a pump that would mimic the breathing of a human. In VO2 as well as humidity and temp.. It will run off of a 12v car lighter. I don't even need to leave my lab. I need to send in a patent so I can get in front of this. Ill advertise in hightimes.

Maybe you could do a joint venture with Anheuser-Busch... As your lawyer, I get 1/3 of the profits... right?
Very intrusive. I wonder if that can be deemed an invasion of privacy in some sense. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know. It seems to be a thing where the sins of the few are visited upon the many. Implications for taking cough syrup which has alcohol in it?
I noted that the alcohol threshold is set quite low 0.03, much lower than the legal limit (maybe three times below the legal limit). If you go to a Super Bowl party, drink a beer, and go out to your car to drive to the convenience store to buy more chips and salsa is your car going to start? If you drink a bottle of wine with dinner on Saturday night will your car start the next morning? I don't know the specifics of alcohol metabolism.
It seems more of the nanny state mentality. I know drunks cause a lot of mayhem. I've seen people driving cars drunk that couldn't stand up on their own feet -- no kidding. Notwithstanding, do we really need to impose this on everyone?
So much for those thoughts. Here is another thought. I have thought before that there is probably a good and profitable business in designing safety mechanisms and then lobbying governments to have a law passed requiring all products to implement the safety mechanism. This came to mind with handgun fingerprint safeties or whatever that safety system was that was discussed some years back. Design, patent, prototype, and then lobby government to require installation of the device. Is that what we are seeing here?
Fortunately this probably won't happen in Texas. I don't drive drunk, but I do like to have a couple of glasses of wine with my dinner when eating at a good restaurant. I'm guessing two glasses of wine could easily put me over 0.03% -- but that is just a guess. And remember, that is about 1/3 the legal acohol limit.
"They make you blow into it while you're driving, therefore somebody doesn't blow into it at the bar for you, and then you leave," said Benedict.
So, its against the law for us to talk on the phone or text while driving, but it will be a law that we have to blow into a tube while driving or the car will die...yep, makes perfect sense to me!

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
Last I checked, you couldn't be found guilty for driving under the influence unless you failed other tests as well.

Actually, you can be convicted of driving under the influence even if you pass the breathalyzer.
Yes, but it requires you to fail other tests.

always said if Mothers against drunk drivers etc....spent all that time money and resources supplying free cabs, etc... that would make more of an impact than, throwing the book at drunk drivers, ie increasing fines, sentences, etc...
