You Can’t Shame People Out of Driving Drunk

I have spoken with people who have been caught behind the wheel DUI/DWI. They don’t mean to drive drunk – it just happens. You can lambast them for making a poor decision, but it won’t stop the problem. A friend suggested a simple solution – if you get a DUI/DWI you get a breathalizer attached to your car as an ignition cutoff. That way you are blocked from using the vehicle in a state of inibriation. Fines, suspensions and even jail time can’t stop people (esp w/ alcohol problems) driving – this can.
