Just putting this idea out there. Imagine if a car cannot start unless you pass a breathalyzer test, in addition to your key/biometric info.

It must be have the following features:
-Fast
-Accurate
-Reusable

Update: It's already available

I think drunk people cannot pass "i'm not a robot" test. It's more practical in a way:

i'd b 1st to sell tiny cans of compressed air mimicking the composition of human breath

It's human nature to want to cheat in a test. Of course if the government implements it they must ban the sale of this compressed air.

We use it here in Aus - look up ignition interlock devices.

Juz fast track autonomous driving kan lebih senang...

So technology is already there. Then it's just up to the government to implement.

Accessories shops will bypass the system.

Better ban alcohol all together.

Stupid idea

1) Means we need to pay extra to install this just because of stupid drunkards

2) You can ask your friend or pay the bangla nearby to cheat and start the car

1. Well, technically you're paying extra for your inbuilt car alarm because of stupid car thieves.

2. It depends on whether he want to help or not. If he sees that you're not capable of driving he might not help even if you pay him, for your own good.

Oh god I laughed so hard at this.

At the same time, you have to ask yourself, is the population mature enough to adopt this? Otherwise, it becomes a classic case of first world infrastructure but third world mentality.

What a ridiculous comparison.

What advantage do I get for installing your system? None.
What disadvantages do i have if i i stall your system? Plenty.
What disadvantage do i have if I don't install? None.

so have to perform blowjob for car to start?

The advantage comes from a community wide implementation by reducing the number of drunk drivers driving.

And you punish all those drivers who don't drink alcohol?

Low value proposition for such a high impact initiative.

Let's consider the alternatives:

1. Maintain current system - caught by police or caught only after causing an accident
2. Ban alcohol - controversial, very few countries in the world implements this
3. Implement alcohol license (mandatory installation on owner's vehicles) - one person can buy alcohol for others, doesn't really work

And your point is?

Maintain the current system it is.

not sure many will agree but it's a good measure

how much the cost to install one

+1 you nailed it there.
