buddha Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 New Mexico is considering a mandatory breathalyzer in every car sold. One would have to prove he/she is not drunk before the ignition was engaged: http://autonet.ca/autonetstories/Stories.cfm?storyID=11185 New Mexico eyes in-car breathalyzer by Staff posted Feb 18, 2004 Drivers may have to pass an in-car breathalyzer test in order to start their engine in New Mexico with a new law under consideration. Reuters reported Monday that the state is thinking about adding an alcohol-detection device to cars because it's fifth in the U.S. in drunk-driving fatalities according to group Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The device works by locking the ignition if a driver breathes more than the legal limit of alcohol into the breathalyzer. It costs about $1,000 (American), and the bill states that all New Mexico cars would have to be outfitted with the apparatus by 2009. Some opposed to the bill say that by adding the machine, those who don't drink and drive are being penalized for no reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 There have been times when you could use my breath as fuel, but I never drove drunk, my drinking habits are just not inclined to warrent it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I wonder if you can fart into it instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 What crock of shit. $US 1,000.00 ??? Will never happen. As soon as they decide to do, someone will invent a canned spray to shoot into tube, to circumvent the purpose. What can they be thinking?
