LINDSAY LOHAN MUG SHOT LAUNCHES DRUNK DRIVING AD


[+] ballot by UncleRandy
ACTIVE Sun May 04, 08 - Fri Jan 28, 11

A restaurant and liquor group from Los Angeles used a mug shot of troubled actress Lindsay Lohan on Friday to launch a national campaign against the use of new technology aimed at keeping drunks off the road.

A full page advertisement in the USA Today newspaper, used the police shot of Lohan after her arrest in Los Angeles last year for drunken driving under a caption saying "Ignition interlocks. A good idea for:" (Lohan) "But a bad idea for us:" showing pictures of adults drinking at weddings and restaurants.

The ad says ignition interlocks, which prevent intoxicated drivers from starting their cars, are "a great tool for getting hard-core drunk drivers off our roads."

But putting one in every person's car, as some people advocate, "means an end to moderate and responsible drinking prior to driving ...," the ad says

I have a hard time agreeing with this.

What do you think?

Right Idea, Wrong Way to get it across.
Driving with just a *Buzz* is still drunk driving.

COMMENTS:
How does this work? Does it take a reading from the air of the cockpit or does the driver breathe into something like a breathalyzer? Does it only lock the ignition if the driver's BAC is above the legal limit? I need more information about this before I decide whether or not it's a good idea.

Ignition Interlock Systems

What Is an Ignition Interlock System?
An ignition interlock is a sophisticated system that tests for alcohol on a driver's breath. It is a device that requires a vehicle operator to blow into a small handheld alcohol sensor unit that is attached to a vehicle's dashboard. The car cannot be started if a BAC is above a preset level (usually .02 to .04 BAC). Alcohol safety interlocks that meet the standards issued by NHTSA (see the See NHTSA Conforming Products List and Technical Information Regarding Alcohol and Drug Law Enforcement Technology) not only require a test to start the engine, but also require a test every few minutes while driving. Called the "rolling or running retest," it prevents a friend from starting the car and then allowing an impaired driver from taking over the wheel (NHTSA guidelines call for only one subsequent test and the Alberta, Canada standard calls for multiple running retests). With modern safeguards, alcohol safety interlocks are extremely difficult to circumvent when properly installed and monitored every 30 to 60 days.
