  • Alcokey..........

    Gm's Sweedish subsidiary has developed this "ingenious" device...........

    an electronic keyfob with a built in alcohol detection sensnor. if the drivers breath doesn't pass the muster, it renders the key useless..........



    it works like dis: a semi conductor is implanted in the key fob and set by the factory to a pre determined blood/alcohol level limit (here's a prob...many states differ). before starting your car..you have to blow into a tube that runs thruough the bob. if the sensor detects an acceptable alcohol level..a green light appreas the and the key will start the motor... if your trashed....a red light apears and key is disabled.

    of course... whats to keep the boozed dude from snaggin some passerby..or ayone..thats sober...whatever...and have them blow into the tube

    the one thing the fob wont have, the sweed's assured..is a memory chip... yikes.. that would be evidence eh?

    will it ever make it to commercial sales? who knows. id like something more bullet proof myself.


    happy fried-day...

    that wouldn't work, waste of money if you'd ask me.

          seems like the easiest way to find the soberest driver

            good idea and theory, but like you said, who would stop him from having someone else blow into it? Then what would be the arguments, i was sober when i started driving, look at my memory chip?!

              my ex-stepmother had one of those installed on her car by a court order, and if she was driving, she had to do that every 15 minutes, or it would kill the car and alert the cops with a built-in tracking device so they could locate her and take her off to jail.

              i'm SOOOO glad my dad finally saw the light and left that B***H....

                Yeah, I just sold a car to someone with one of those devices. He told me he had 8 dui's. Personaly I dont think he should of been driving anyway but he had to blow into it to get it started.
