Keeping Drunks Off The Road – Car Breathalizers (Ignition Interlock Devices)

One of the biggest probl
fff
ems in the United States these days is driving under the influence, or DUI.  Many people are in the United States are hurt or killed as a result of drunk drivers, and in the past people who have a DUI on their record have been given little more than a slap on the wrist. But in some states, that is changing thanks to something called an ignition interlock device. This requires the person to blow into the device to test their blood alcohol level before the car can be started.
Advantages of a breathalyzer device:
• Fewer drunk drivers – Many states are requiring installation after first offense.  This means it's going to make the driver think twice before having that drink.
• Safer roads – Since a lot of the accidents on the road are related to drunk driving, there are going to be fewer accidents on the road and less deaths and injuries due to drunk drivers.
• Awareness and responsibility – The people who have prior DUI convictions may be embarrassed by having to drive around with the device in the car, so perhaps they are going to be a testimony to other drivers.
Disadvantages of ignition interlock devices:
• Not foolproof – A driver is able to have a passenger blow into the device and trick the car into thinking that they are sober when they are not.  Some drivers decide to do this even though it can get them in a heap of trouble if found out.
• Inconvenient for others – When the car is serviced, the body shop servicing the car also needs to use the device before they are able to start it, making it very inconvenient.   Whether the person needs the oil changed, their car towed, or an inspection, the car needs to be started before any of those things can be done.
Maybe with this invention, there are going to be a lot more sober people on the road and a lot fewer people whose hearts are broken because someone they know was injured or killed due to a drunk driver. Maybe one of these days people are going to learn that drunk driving just isn't worth it.  But until that happens, maybe the inconvenience and the embarrassment caused by these devices will make people think twice about that last beer.  
Is a beer worth paralyzing or killing someone? If you said yes, then you need to stay off the road.
