Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80550127 Well I'm glad that it will keep you off the road, but it's a bit of a nuisance for those of us who just don't drive if they've been drinking. But I do agree that BAC is very subjective. Some people are perfectly fine at .08, and others are stupid passout drunk at .04. It should be based on capability to operate the machine.

Quoting: Depluribus Unum Who do you think got the kickbacks for mandating an unnecessary $3k system for every single vehicle?  Arguing with people about it also a complete waste of time, all you can do is hope the courts stop it when the auto manufacturers sue. The inbuilt "big brother is always right" mentality that most people have will never let them see this for what it is, a loss of fundamental rights and an intrusion on personal privacy. Frankly the way our world has gone I have a suspicion that by the time I die, it'll be a relief. |

They add their profit margin on top of the cost of the breathalyzer, and don't have to worry about it because their competition does too. From many, covfefe |
