Initially, I was turned off by this as most others in the thread, but on thinking about it a little more, I don't think it's such a bad idea.

I know a few people who are responsible, sensible people who just didn't realize they were at 0.10%, or 0.11% and have paid the price in court. I agree these people shouldn't be on the road for everyone's sake, but I'm sure they all would rather have spent $500 on an option for the car rather than $5000 for a lawyer.

So, if the option can be set up with a few stipulations, I think it's a good idea:

(1) The option must be cheap and discreet. Keep it to $500 or less, and no big breathing tube coming out of the dash. It looks bad and people won't buy/use it.

(2) The data will not be stored or transmitted in anyway to police agencies or insurance companies. I want it set up to start if under 0.08 and not start if 0.09 or more. Then zero it out so that it can't be read. I don't want to be penalized by my insurance or have it used against me in court if something happens and they bring in the black box from my car that says I've regularly been at 0.05 (well under legal limit) while driving.

(3) Insurance discounts if it's installed. Though, I don't see that happening with the #2 in place. Ins co want all the data they can get their greedy little hands on.
