The NHTSA has been trying to put breathalyzers in new cars since at least 2015 and new legislation suggests they may finally succeed.

As Landline Media explains, “an already large bill has developed into an enormous one. House Democrats merged the nearly $500 billion highway bill, or INVEST in America Act, into a larger infrastructure package with a $1.5 trillion price tag.”

A press release reveals that this new bill would treat every American like a potential criminal and force them to breathe into a breathalyzer every time they get behind the wheel.

“To honor the Abbas family’s legacy to stop drunk driving by directing NHTSA to prescribe a motor vehicle safety standard requiring passenger motor vehicles to be equipped with an advanced drunk driving prevention system that detects if the driver is intoxicated.”

The Morning Sun reveals that part of the new act, forcing car manufacturers to install breathalyzers in new cars will be voted on this July!

In less than five years, the “Moving Forward Act” will require all passenger vehicles be equipped with drunk driving-detection technology.

“Not later than 5 years after the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall prescribe a final rule containing the motor vehicle safety standard required under this sub-section. The final rule shall specify an effective date that provides at least 2 years, and no more than 3 years, to allow for manufacturing compliance.”

This bill would accelerate the development of breathalyzers in new cars.

“The Secretary shall work directly with manufacturers of passenger motor vehicles, suppliers, safety advocates, and other interested parties to accelerate the development of the drunk driving prevention technology required to prescribe a motor vehicle safety standard.”

The bill would also allow the Feds to install “advanced drunk driving prevention technology” or Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADDS) in every new car.

Guilty until proven innocent. And even then, True Innocence is no longer a legitimate defense against the law. So even if innocent, you get to pay the fine by having to pay for your Mandatory Breathalyzer.

Where is AF?

$#@! A BUNCH OF COMPUTER CARS.

I heard if you are drunk, you can just take a bong hit of weed and blow it into the device and it won't detect any alcohol.

Aren't there enough things that keep a car from running?

Start car > Get drunk > Drive off. Problem solved.

Well at least you will be able to sue the Bar or even the Bartender since your phone / wallet / Digital ID (mandatory) will have a permanent record of who got you drunk to begin with.

Always enough rope to hang you with, but never enough to pull you out of a hole.

I hear if you get one of the self driving cars, the police throw a switch, and it drives you straight to jail.

That only lasts as long as your current ride keeps running, and you can actually buy a Non Breathalyzer Car. So, what happens in 50 years when a 2025 car is considered "old" and is no longer available on the market?

Remember Cash For Clunkers? What is Version 2.0 of this, "Cash For Crashers"?

I was thinking along the line of borrowing our land and country from our children, and hope by the time they are adults, that there is a country left worth living in. How bad will the future be for all our children?

I worry my head off about what will my grandchildren have left. My child is an adult and he sees what is going on. I hope they can have a good life I really do. My son works really hard and he provides for his children and believes in family and I think he gives good values to his children. He has a lot more ambition than I have ever had. I don't know if that will be enough.He seems to know how to play within the rules of society which is something I never could do. I have always been politically incorrect and refused to fit in with social norms. He is not like me in any way. He is very smart and he was always encouraged to do his best in all things. He is very determined to prove me wrong about politics and the economy.
I hope he is right because he is the one who is going to have to live with what is going on.

I'm sure somebody will make a device to bypass that thing and sell it on the black market.

Can we still say black market?
