I'd like to see someone bypass the breathalyzer just to see if it can be done.

Couldn't you get in trouble if they found out that you were tampering with it?

It can be done.

If you tamper and get caught, you usually lose your driving privilige for a long time, pay a large fine, and go to jail.

But what if you don't have a DUI/DWI conviction against you?

It would have to be very old to be pre-airbag. New cars have 'smart' airbags that sense your weight and have multi stage depolyment

It would be about like disabling your airbag. Who would know till you wrecked?

Someone should alert Congress.

That's my point. If they were mandatory and you don't drink and bypass it, should you get into trouble for doing so?

So we just trample on the rights of the vast majority who don't drive while drunk.

I can't see why anyone who doesn't drink and drive would care. especially since this pie in the sky idea will never fly. Don't let anything mechanical go wrong with my car, because it won't start, due to government mandated 'safety interlocks'.

Some like to trust those folks we elected and say the lawmakers stoopid ideas will never fly. Someone must disagree, already there are radio ads out there notifying citizens this is what our politicians intend to enact, under very heavy lobbying pressure by some folks who under the guise of concerned mothers, want prohibition to return. Very politically correct ad, and the implications were quite explicit.

No, this stoopid idea will never fly in America.
