I’m sure my alcohol-based medicinal tinctures would trigger this. But I believe I have purchased my last new car anyway.

There wasn't too much uproar when GE and Sylvania did it with lightbulbs....

The Dems will do anything to drive up the cost of owning a personal vehicle. They want everyone but themselves forced into mass transportation. First it’ll be into busses and light rail, but the end game will be cattle cars.

You know the diabolical system would incorporate a facial recognition device, or fingerprint, etc., with no time lag so you can switch people in the middle of it.

In the early 70s I worked a boys’ juvenile prison (its official name was ‘youth center’. While escapes (runs) weren’t encouraged, they weren’t discouraged either, the idea being that the wayward boys had to deal with their problems and escaping was one method. (I am not making this up). With that in mind the fence around the center was 4-feet high.

Everyone who worked with a ‘cottage’ had to work runs. We’d pile into the state cars and take off after the lad. Except cars were equipped with a system that required you to be buckled up before the car would start. If you did it wrong, everyone would have to get out of the car, re-enter, buckle up, and then, the car might or might not start. Even moving in the seat might cause a failure.

I mean what could go wrong with the new system?

Collective punishment. Everyone must pay for this crap, whether they drink or not.

I think I will start breeding rats to sell to drunks so the drunks can trick the blood alcohol sensor on their cars.

"he second is an infrared touch sensor to detect blood alcohol level through skin that could be built into a steering wheel or start button."

"infrared touch sensor"

The germaphobs using the handsanitizers will have a dilemma; Driving or staying "Safe".

Bars will sell $1.99 cans of “sober breath” and all these stupid covid masks will have charcoal liners placed on them.

Did the idiots consider the fact that most hand sanitizers have alcohol in them?
