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

          What kind of emergency is more important than the lives of people that might be killed by a drunk driver’s mistake? And how is it impossible to find an alternative solution?

            Where do you guys live? Is it America? Because I kinda feel like in America I’m never surprised that someone drove drunk.

            (Especially before Uber.)

          What emergency is so time sensitive it’s worth killing yourself and a random family for?

                honestly, any emergency that involves hitting you and yours. that’s because i don’t feel like remembering them. i’ve been the car that the police pulls over because it’s driving erratically and then takes over driving. it’s an abstract concept to you. not to me.

                  Were you drunk or just driving erratically because you were in an emergency?

                  Also, still didn’t name an emergency worth killing yourself and a random family over

      “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.

          Interlock devices are the bare minimum if you insist on allowing people who have proven they will drive drunk to continue to drive.

            I was arguing with the point of “repeatedly” being a determining factor for having to have this device. It’s not reality, once is enough.

              When you consider that most people get away with a crime dozens of times at least before getting caught, then yes being caught once is enough.

      You mean he got caught once.

      Having a breathalyzer is letting them off easy, they deserve to lose their license
