I think I have a solution. It’s a wee bit technical. If there was a way to measure how intoxicated you were through your skin, you build a sensor into the steering wheel to detect alcohol. Over a certain percentage and the car doesn’t start.
You cannot fool it by wearing gloves. When you buy the car, you scan your fingerprint which the scanner uses every time you start the car.
Big word that “if”....plus addiction being what it is...someone will find a way to defeat system...i heard that making offenders attend and watch an autopsy of dead drunk driver worked very well...same technique might be useful to curb morbid obesity...smoking...sexual disease transmission...rat racing car drivers...texting idiots...
What happens when you sell the car?
Yeah, those 1974 cars that had the seat belt interlock were sooo popular with the citizens that they lasted one model year, along with the 80 mph speedometers. Back then, it was so much fun to peg the needle!
