Do they make car breathalyzer?

Yes, they do! A car breathalyzer is one of the last barriers to drunk driving prevention for DUI offenders who want to stay out of jail. A car breathalyzer, also known as an ignition interlock device, (or the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety) requires drivers to give a breath sample prior to starting their cars. If the breathalyzer detects a certain amount of alcohol, the car simply will not start. But by 2012 or so, in-car breath sniffers could be standard equipment in every new vehicle sold, force-fed to you by the tag team of Washington, Detroit and, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).


Did candy lightner the founder of madd get sentenced to prison for DUI?

No Candy has not ever received ANY citation for DUI! While she is not a favorite person of mine, I do have great respect for her. I was friends with her survivng twin daughter for many years. There was always "breaking news" regarding both Candy and Serena. Once I was sleeping over and we were awoken to news that Serena had been killed by a drunk driver. She was sitting right beside me, alive and well. I will never understand why people have to throw stones at good people. With so many horrific things, true things going on, I have to wonder who is either that bored or that sad that they are fabricating stories.
