Neat Idea, But . . .

. . . how long until MADD demands a zero-tolerance steering column?

A Fort Lauderdale man has created a steering wheel that contains a skin sensor that blocks a vehicle from starting or running if the driver is drunk, an invention he thinks could reducing alcohol-related accidents.

The sensor is installed in the steering wheel or gloves worn by the driver. A two-minute warning precedes the shut-off. The device can be adjusted to each state's alcohol limit.

There's been a lot of drinking news lately. Maybe the three-day weekend increased our interest.
