Would you be okay with mandatory a Breathalyzer in every car?

Before you start your car each time you have to submit to an automated breathalyzer. If it detects alcohol in your breath your car will not start. A car is a very dangerous mult-ton object capable of traveling upwards of 100 miles per hour. The energy transferred in a collision is immense. Ten Thousand people were killed last year in car crashes with drunk drivers. We already put breathalyzers on some cars owned by frequent drunk drivers, but why not extend it to every and make it a mandatory requirement like seat belts and air bags. It is very much a safety feature and will end up saving lives. It would be a retroactive law, so every vehicle in American will be required to install one of these safety features. Of course it would not be cheap, but the government could issue a voucher for all but 50 dollars of the cost of the installation. Driving is a privileged, a very dangerous one, shouldn't we take all the steps to make it even safer?

    Yes. Like you said the cost wouldn't be nice. But it would help save lives. Edit: didn't think of the malfunction thing. And no. Cars and guns are not the same.
