Have you ever heard of technology that requires a driver to blow into a breathalyzer before he can drive?
Yes, you heard correctly, it’s not something you saw on CSI, it is a real world solution to prevent drunken driving for repeat offenders, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (“MADD”) believes.
On Sunday, the South Bend Tribune reported an anecdote of a repeat offender who received leniency on his first (3) DUI’s, and on his fourth, ended up killing Mishawaka Police Cpl. James Szuba, when Devine’s SUV plowed into his police cruiser during a pursuit.
Unfortunately, tales like these aren’t all that uncommon. Something is necessary to prevent the death and destruction caused by drunk driving. At the same time, Space Age technology seems to be a very expensive option.
Who should bear this cost?
