    They don’t arbitrarily hand those things out… Don’t drink and drive and it’s not a problem.

      Our entire bar/nightclub economy would collapse if nobody drank and drove. Not defending it, just pointing out America has terrible public transportation and very little means to access these places without driving.

      Eh, yet. There’s talk of mandating them for new cars.

            In the other article linked by that one it says it’s just a recommendation. Seems weird.

            A federal advisory board recommended yesterday that safety regulators require “alcohol impairment detection systems to be included in all new vehicles.” The move is just a recommendation, but it has the weight of law behind it.

              They ended up requiring only ease of installation but it’s definitely something that was on the cards.

              My bad, they only ended up mandating ease of breathalyzer installation https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/12799-Road-safety-easy-installation-of-alcohol-interlocks-in-vehicles_en

        If they become mandatory, they’re probably not going to restrict where you can go.

          Hopefully, but it’s still a device to maintain and check at special government approved companies.
