    Boo for the cyber attack but fuck people who drive drunk repeatedly to the point of needing an interlock device. Maybe don’t drink and drive you fucking sack of shit.

        Driving under the influence is a ban able offence (reckless endangerment) in most countries.

        So is a proper driver’s ed before giving even a learner’s permit. US loves giving a multi ton killing machine to untrained people with impulse control. And teenagers

        Perfect solution. Really needs public transit or walkable cities to work so win-win.

          I can think of plenty, just oh shit we have to get to the hospital please take us to the hospital with a legitimate oh shit we have to get to the hospital tends to override most traffic bullshits. Making the judgment of whether something is a legitimate oh shit we need to get to the hospital is why we have EMTs but like, if the Friday night shift knows you have emergencies when you eat buttered popcorn and there’s a new bee movie out they might just expect you to drive yourself (or rather, have a trusted friend and swearing team buddy) because you’re half expecting a damn emergency at the bee movie and you’ve had twelve too many, they know which roads to keep clear of toddlers and the elderly. Damn bees.

      I know someone that did it once and having to have one of these as a result. Suggest you reset your opinions a bit.

        “I know someone who only did a murder once and they locked them right up. Suggest you reset your opinions a bit.”

        Replace murder with any crime.

        If you don’t want to face the consequences, don’t do the action that begets the consequences.

        TLDR: don’t fuck around if you don’t wanna find out.

            Interlock devices are the bare minimum if you insist on allowing people who have proven they will drive drunk to continue to drive.

              I was arguing with the point of “repeatedly” being a determining factor for having to have this device. It’s not reality, once is enough.

                When you consider that most people get away with a crime dozens of times at least before getting caught, then yes being caught once is enough.

          They lost their license for 2 years. The equipment was required to get it back.

            What kind of emergency is more important than the lives of people that might be killed by a drunk driver’s mistake? And how is it impossible to find an alternative solution?

              Where do you guys live? Is it America? Because I kinda feel like in America I’m never surprised that someone drove drunk.

              (Especially before Uber.)

                  honestly, any emergency that involves hitting you and yours. that’s because i don’t feel like remembering them. i’ve been the car that the police pulls over because it’s driving erratically and then takes over driving. it’s an abstract concept to you. not to me.

                    Were you drunk or just driving erratically because you were in an emergency?

                    Also, still didn’t name an emergency worth killing yourself and a random family over
