    This is a great story to illuminate the large number of problems that could be addressed by decent public transit, better options for walking and biking, etc.

    Boo for the cyber attack but fuck people who drive drunk repeatedly to the point of needing an interlock device. Maybe don’t drink and drive you fucking sack of shit.

      Never knew anyone who had one, but a friend of mine dated a guy who did. He would beg her to breathe into it for him.

        That’s insane but as an alcoholic I can absolutely see someone doing it.

        Some are social butterflies who have to be out and about but talk about not learning lessons.

          “Not learning lessons” is a pretty mild way to put it.

          The only way it isn’t pure evil is if we allow that the alcoholic is not in control of their actions. And if we allow that, they cannot be trusted to drive, or really to even have their freedom. They are 5150, plain and simple.

            They’re in control but reaching them is something best done by people like them in my experience.

            Logic only goes so far, clearly.

      I know someone that did it once and having to have one of these as a result. Suggest you reset your opinions a bit.

        “I know someone who only did a murder once and they locked them right up. Suggest you reset your opinions a bit.”

        Replace murder with any crime.

        If you don’t want to face the consequences, don’t do the action that begets the consequences.

        TLDR: don’t fuck around if you don’t wanna find out.

          Fun fact: In the US you can get a DUI for sleeping it off in your car, a passenger drinking while you drive (open container laws), or failing a bullshit coordination test graded by a racist cop without them ever checking your blood alcohol.

            Also a fun fact: you could also just not drink and drive or allow others to drink in your car.

              Do you think it’s justified to ban someone from driving for letting other people drink in the car?
              If so, why? What good would that achieve?

    Internet connected breathalyzer… May I ask why? If they need periodic recalibrations all of them don’t need it right now no?

    Only those cars that needed a breathalyzer for reasons.

    Not much of a loss, I’d say.
