LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS…TOO MANY PEOPLE IN NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA ARE GETTING INJURED AND KILLED BECAUSE OF DRUNK DRIVERS.
I SAY THAT IT’S TIME TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADDRESS THE SITUATION IN A SERIOUS WAY TO EFFECTIVELY REDUCE THE CARNAGE, MAYHEM, AND HUMAN ROADKILL THAT TAKES PLACE ON OUR HIGHWAYS AND OUR ROADS DAY IN AND DAY OUT.
I PROPOSE THAT NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA PASS LAWS THAT REQUIRE ALL CARS TO HAVE IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICES. IN AUGUST PEOPLE CONVICTED OF DRUNK DRIVING IN NEW YORK WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE ONE… BUT I’M TALKING ABOUT EVERYONE. THAT’S RIGHT EVERYONE AND EVERY CAR. NO EXCEPTIONS. IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICES ARE MUCH LIKE BREATHALYZERS. YOU NEED TO BLOW INTO THE DEVICE TO START YOUR CAR AND IF YOU ARE DRUNK THE CAR WILL SIMPLY NOT START.
DRIVERS ARE ALREADY REQUIRED TO HAVE SEATBELTS, MIRRORS, BRAKES, AND HEADLIGHTS TO DRIVE SAFELY. LET’S ADD IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICES ASAP.
WITH COMMENTARY…I’M YOUR PH.D. OF POLITICS…DR. STEPHEN HURRICANE COLEMAN THE THIRD…THAT’S MY OPINION…WHAT’S YOURS?
