Federal Government trying to invent something that would be a giant waste of money? No way! They never do stuff like that. :crackup I agree, just like when they decided to invent ignition interlock devices on vehicles for people convicted of multiple DWI’s (now I think it’s only one and you get one though). What did people do? Had someone else blow in the device so you’d get a good BAC and then the drunk person would drive. A good friend of mine just recently got his first DWI and apparently the State requires you to pay to have a camera and the ignition interlock device mounted in your car so they know the person who blew in it is the person who should be driving. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ntsb-recommands-ban-on-driver-use-of-cell-phones-and-other-portable-electronic-device/261751)._
