4. which leads naturally to the question...
why not just have this for everyone? We deem it wise and good for teens to drive under 80mph, wear seat belts, and listen to music at reasonable volume levels. Fair enough. What about adults, then? Is it somehow magically safe when we drive over 80mph, don't wear seat belts, or blast the stereo? I don't think so.

And maybe those breathalyzer ignitions ought to be on every car, not just the ones driven by DUI convicts.

Stop the accidents before they happen. Why wait for the justice system to mandate individually what could easily be handled by car manufacturers in the first place?

I know, I know, your car is supposedly your symbol of freedom and responsibility, right? Yet it seems logical somehow...
