Drunk driving is a leading cause of fatalities in road accidents. According to statistics provided by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), out of a total of 42,642 people killed in traffic accidents in the US, 17,602 or (41%) made up those killed in alcohol related crashes.

Despite all the warnings, all the high profile convictiions some people never seem to learn. One guy actually told me that he was more alert after drinking a glass of Whiskey taken neat. Yeah right! I won’t be riding in his car anytime soon.

Won’t it be great if the car prevented a drunk driver from driving.
