Yeah, I saw this on the news today. Although I was thinking of ways people could get round it, i.e. Getting a mini fan and blowing air from that, or getting one of those things that you use to get fires going (can't remember the name).
I think it's a good start however, and quite a good idea.

I think it needs to detect a certain amount of moisture to avoid people just wafting it around to pass it
Pretty soon they'll link it up with a dna test so no one can cheat 8op

I could earn some money on the side by hanging out in car parks at 11.00, sober and full of valuable breath.

i wonder how accurate it is? if it's relatively accurate, i think this is a great idea. a buddy of mine had a little breathalizer, but it didn't seem to be calibrated very well. either that or we got deathly drunk VERY often... which is a possiblity.
i'm all for freedom and whatnot, but when your right to drink and drive interferes with my family & loved one's right to live i'm ok with the gov't removing your right.

"taking away my freedom and rights."
but you DON'T have the right to drink and drive, same way you shouldn't have the right to incite violence, kill people. etc. Thats why its illegal, old bean! This is about enforcing the law.
A pretty good idea if it saves lives.
Dannn_ : i thought you did that anyway! :)

I think the level of alcohol that you can consume before driving should be mesured in a different way though cause it's different for each person
some people can have a pint and be hammerd, here as other will be able to drive

that's the way blood alcohol levels work. a 300 pound dude could drink more than a 110 pound person and have the same BAC.
weight and metabolism play an important role. of course, if the tester is all out of wack and innacurate it wouldn't really matter.

i like how in new zealand and i guess in jolly old england they call it drink driving instead of drunk driving cause it's more polite and doesn't assume that someone is a drunk, or alcoholic.

all i can think of is silent bob, the spokesperson for saab.
anyhow, in my state this past year, a woman who had several convictions for drunk driving ended up being forced to have one of these breathalyser things installed in her car before it would start, but she found a way around it. she needed to go to the grocery store while intoxicated for some reason, so she just made her 11 year old son blow into it for her so she could drive WITH ALL OF HER CHILDREN in the car...i don't remember the exact details of her getting caught, but i do believe it was a pretty serious accident (no fatalities).
