Lots of talk about systems like that in Sweden.

Are the drink driving convictions high over in Sweden? :confused:

Not really (or at all, too little if you ask me) - but there's a successful lobby that want to force the makers of cars to install these devices in all cars from factory.

In my opinion drunk driving is FAR more serious than speeding, I just don't think a device like that is the right way to go.

Interesting. I agree with about speeding being no where near as dangerous as driving under the influence, but such devices may become useful, for those who don't realise that one drink maybe too many to drive.

Got any better ideas to tackle drink driving, on the large(r) scale? :hihi:
