And you're feelin' that wild turkey's bite
Don't give Johnny Walker a ride
'Cause Jack Black is right by your side

Now just the other night with nothin' to do
We broke a case of proof 102

Figure out how to solve that and you'll save a lot of lives.
I'd ride with a drunk before one of these dickweeds on their phones. At least the drunk is trying.

It can't be that difficult to chemically produce and aerosolize breath.

I would also valet park. They leave the vehicle running.
According to a former coworker, you need to "hum" while you blow to start the car. No hum, no start.

He dropped his Jeep off to get worked on. The mechanic didn't know that ( he failed to mention it) , tried three times and had to get the interlocked reset at a cost of $75

Imagine how much cheaper cars and trucks would be if they were not loaded up with mandatory crap people may not need or want.

Diabetics can blow a false positive on breathalyzer tests. It's a blood sugar balancing thing... So now yet another 10% of the population is being earmarked for oppression by our little hitlers.

Great, where will it all end? Maybe people will finally learn to stop subjecting themselves to authority? Yeah, not likely, but it's a nice dream.

I support the police, in general, but if cops enforced texting and driving laws already on the books, instead of the low-hanging fruit that is speeding, it might make some of these ****ers put the goddamn phones down.

Of course there were no false positive cootie tests that screwed up peoples plans, and this will be 100% accurate every time.

You drive 20 in your EV, that's all the .gov will approve of. Drinking - nope, smoking weed - you bet.

At 20mph max, it's a good thing you can just pull over and shit on the sidewalks because you'll never get home in time.

There wouldn't be a drunk driver problem if the courts actually punished drunk drivers. I've had three good friends killed by drunks over the years. The last one was on a 6 line freeway (in each direction 6 lines), when a wrong way drunk hit him headon. The guy got 6 years, and then was out in 18 months because he cried that his daughter was growing up and he was missing it. He was supposed to pay a half a million bucks to my friends estate, but without a survivor, they just went ahead and dropped that too. The document setting him free was signed for approval by none other than the dirty whore that's VP now.

In every case I know of with a DUI death, the drunk hasn't even served a decade and even gets their license back later...!!!! Oh yeah, that's going to stop drunk driving for sure.
