"Florida mandates breathalyzer locks for convicted drunk drivers"

Baked. You may wish to search on Google or other search engine before posting. Same suggestion I received after overcooking. |

Not only baked, but required by the courts in several states for multiple DUIs. |
|
|
And all too easily circumvented by a sober friend or family member, alas. |

Sorry to inform you but, do you have a patent on this idea since I have invented it aswell, but only came upon this site after. Was wondering if you might wanna coordinate or contact some how, i find it preaty fun.. lol |

I couldn't stand such a thing. I don't drink _at all_. The presumption that I should need to prove this to a car, many times a day, bothers me to no end. Especially since we still couldn't eliminate keys -- there are a lot of sober people around, after all, but I don't like them driving my car. |

Darthwar: the device in question was originally patented in 1965 (Patent No. 3,186,508). |

2. As I think I mentioned elsewhere, in some jurisdictions just being inside your car when drunk (even if you are asleep in the back seat) is enough for a successful charge of "Drunk in charge of a vehicle." So this breathalyzer would have to be on the outside of your car. |

Oops! I just thought that up and Made one! See Car Breath Dectector! |

This is actually what happens after a DUI conviction in Ontario they install one to your ignition and you have to breath into it in order to start the car. Also I belive you also have to breath into it during certain time intervals while you're driving just to prove that you just didn't bring some beer for the drive. |
