Congress approves alcohol monitors in ALL new cars to stop drunk driving in Biden's new $1.2T in infrastructure package

    The new infrastructure bill includes $17 billion for road safety programs
    Includes directing automakers to install monitoring systems to make sure drivers don't operate their vehicles while intoxicated
    Responsibility for their rollout would fall to the Secretary of Transportation
    Would mandate alcohol detection systems in all new cars by 2026 at the earliest

Congress is requiring in its $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that automakers install monitoring systems in their cars to stop drivers from operating their vehicles while intoxicated.

The bipartisan package, which is on its way to the president's desk after passing the House on Friday, allocates around $17 billion for the road safety programs.

Monitoring systems to stop drunk drivers would roll out in all new vehicles as early as 2026, according to the new legislation. First, however, the Transportation Department would have to assess what the best form of technology is and give automakers ample time to comply.

If we could link lie detectors to the microphones of our Congress critters, damned few of them would pass the test.

Hell if we attached alcohol monitors to their microphones and voting switches requiring them to be sober to speak or vote it would be very very quiet in those chambers. What about all the states legalizing drugs, is Congress going to require some sort of testing device to prevent those impaired drivers from using their cars? And what happens when one of these devices decides to fail and strands someone in an unsafe area or prevents them from using their car in an emergency? More and more I am coming realize that the vast majority of our representative are either drunk or stoned almost all the time. Or in the case of Feinswein, Pelosi, Biden and too many others both drunk and suffering from dementia.

Bought a new car 2 years ago ... hubby's truck is about 5 years old.  No new cars in our future either!
