Toyota in Japan and Nissan in America are both working on in car breathalyzers that would lock up drunk drivers ignition if it measured a drivers breath to be over the legal limit. I would love to have one of these. My fear is not driving drunk because I simply don't do it, my fear is driving while .08 which is a fucking joke. As things stand now, you could go to bar have two beers and be arrested for being drunk because a machine which cannot be contested in court says I'm intoxicated. I'd like to see just how many beers and how long it takes me to blow .08 then I'd have a better idea of how fucked I am if I get pulled over. The whole joke about blood alcohol content being .08 is that it doesn't measure intoxication it measures the amount of alcohol in your blood. Intoxication varies from person to person, there is no proof that one person at .08 is exactly as intoxicated or as unable to drive as a another person with the same B.A.C. For example, someone less immune to alcohol's effects such as A native American might be more intoxicated than a Norwegian at the same limit, a limit by the way, which keeps changing over the years to suit the agenda of politicians and M.A.D.D. who also by the way want to enact zero tolerance alcohol laws which means you theoretically go to jail for drinking NyQuil. I don't want to go to jail over two beers or a teaspoon of vicks 44d and I don't want anyone else to either. I also don't want actual asshole drunks killing me or someone in my family so I hope one day these on board breathalyzers become as standard as seatbelts.
