A simple breathalizer device required to start your vehicle.-- maliki, Sep 26 2000 Breathalizer http://www.breathalizer.net [knothacker, Oct 04 2004] "Florida mandates breathalyzer locks for convicted drunk drivers" http://autonet.ca/A...s.cfm?storyID=10418"Those drivers would be required to have a device attached to their automobile's ignition that would prevent anyone with more than a certain alcohol level on their breath from being able to start the vehicle." [kropotkin, Oct 04 2004] Baked. You may wish to search on Google or other search engine before posting. Same suggestion I received after overcooking.-- thumbwax, Sep 27 2000 Not only baked, but required by the courts in several states for multiple DUIs.-- danrue, Sep 27 2000 And all too easily circumvented by a sober friend or family member, alas.-- Uncle Nutsy, Sep 27 2000 What they said.-- oic, Dec 07 2000 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-- Darthwar, Feb 19 2002 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.-- cpt kangarooski, Feb 20 2002 Darthwar: the device in question was originally patented in 1965 (Patent No. 3,186,508).-- bookworm, Feb 20 2002 Two things:
1. "proove."
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.-- calum, Feb 20 2002 Oops! I just thought that up and Made one! See Car Breath Dectector!-- CV, Apr 01 2003 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.-- Piper7865, Apr 06 2003 random, halfbakery
