New York Democratic Rep. Kathleen Rice announced recently she will drop legislation mandating American automakers to install ignition interlock technology in all new cars that detects a driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) and block the engine from starting if the driver’s BAC is above the legal limit.
“Advancing the progress we’ve made combating drunk driving demands bold action,” Rice said in a press release.
“It demands that we take a stand and say we refuse to keep letting drunk drivers take 10,000 lives each year. We refuse to keep seeing families torn apart when we know we can do more to prevent it. Strict enforcement is important, holding drunk drivers accountable is important, but we can and must do more to stop drunk drivers from ever hitting the road in the first place. That’s why I’m working on legislation to require ignition interlock devices in all new cars. This technology saves lives, it saves money, and I’m going to fight to make it standard equipment in American cars.”
Representative Rice previously served as District Attorney of Nassau County, NY, where she was known for aggressive drunk driving prosecutions and recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
And how much do these ***holes think that’s going to cost the American people? There needs to be an investigation to see which one of these scumbags on Capistol Hill has investments in “breathalyzer” companies. Throw their @$$ in jail.
Would political officeholders get an exemption ?
For the same reason that the elderly have to have birth control in their health insurance? It’s the mad Kenyan’s “fundaMENTALly transformed Amerika”! Think of Amerika as sort of a big Kenya.
Just have some of these handy.
The stupidest thing I”ve ever heard. Hey DD, breathe in this for me so I can start the engine.
OK.
Done.
Just drives up the price of the car even more.
I detest MADD...the mothers of the nanny state
But does it analyze the pic,,or just record it?
Guess I'll have to switch to these.
What about all those who are high on drugs? There are probably more of them than drunk drivers these days.
Loony, fascist, bitch.
“drop” legislation or “draw up” legislation?
I’ll bet you can blow marijuana smoke into the breathalyzer and easily still start your car. If you can find your keys.
Throw in IQ testing as well. Too damn dumb, well you can’t get elected.
Id market the device as the Gringo 220.
Orwellian totalitarianist.
How many cab drivers would be unable to work? By the way they drive a hell of a lot, potentially. Doctors and cops,’too. Lawyers coming back from their liquid lunch...?
canned air baby, canned air
I’ll have to ask him if the pic taken is analysed or just recorded. That’s a good question.
When things are extremely stupid one can call it “Democrat”. If it’s just stupid it’s stupid, but REALLY, REALLY STUPID, then its’ Democrat. Yeah, I know. This is Democrat.
We need IQ testing too.
