If someone 20 years ago came up with the idea of handing out 4-5 fines totaling $3000 for having a few drinks at .08(the limit here in IL was .15, then .12 then .10 and thats to Clinton now .08), getting arrested and hauled off to jail, and forcing every car to be installed with a device that won't start if you are over the limit, they would of been the laughing stock of the nation

If somebody had said 20 years ago that we'd be going through metal detectors and standing in line for 4 hours to get on 90-minute flights, and that we'd have to give up our shampoo, our toothpaste and our cigarette lighters to get on the plane, he would have been the laughingstock of the nation. Times change. We respond.

That is ok. Then they will have a cigarette smoke/snuff detector saying an unhealthy smoker does not care about their life or the lives of others (second hand smoke) and therefore would not drive safely. Then they will have a scales in the seat to prevent drivers over a set weight limit from driving because they are not only unhealthy thinkers but lack the flexibility and good sense to react to situations.

No, I don't envision that happening. Overweight drivers and drivers who smoke don't kill thousands of people every year.

No but you know how everyone seems to be in a conga line.

The car people should make a baby seat that goes off if the kid is left in the car. Mothers should get MAD about these baked babies and make them do something.
