This reads like they want everybody to have one of those breathalyzer boxes in cars. Fuck that if so, I’ve watched those things refuse to let a car start for several sober people. On top of being a chore to “blow” into correctly. (Maybe they’ve improved? I’ll admit, I don’t know, I’m not consistently exposed to these devices.) If there’s an emergency and one of those refuses to start for a sober people, that feels like too high a failure rate for me.
