A letter to the editor in today’s Baltimore Sun began by discussing a bill that would require ignition interlocks for all drunk drivers. By the end of the letter, writer Jon Miller called for ignition-locking breathalyzers to be installed in all cars:
Those devices should be standard equipment on every car on the road.
…I’m sure the people that don’t drink would be more than happy to have a device on their car even if they don’t need to use it.
It’s funny how quickly activists go from wanting to mandate interlocks for drunk drivers to trying to require them for the rest of us.
We’ve argued for a long time that the campaign for interlock mandates for drunk drivers is just the first step toward getting them in all cars. Check out our interlock timeline.
