Obviously the American public cannot be trusted to supervise it's self. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #57 November 24, 2019 Well, apparently Quebec province is instituting a new law. Mandatory breathalyzer interlock for anyone convicted of a 2nd offense OWI. Some pretty harsh penalties for driving a car without one (so don't loan your car to someone with 2 convictions). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/drunk-driving-twice-quebec-breathalyzer-for-life-1.5369145?fbclid=IwAR1iqaOWT-K5zGodH8Uq7819xNsNKM67yYsZyrA8o0vsayess-OGx3AJOvo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #63 January 2, 2020 I'm not sure if this deserves it's own thread or not, so I'll just add it here. Brown County (the county in Wisconsin where Green Bay is located) set a new record. ZERO alcohol related fatal car crashes. This has never happened before. I'm not sure if I'm happy that it happened, or deeply disturbed that it's never happened in the past. Obviously, it happened in the time before cars. I'm not sure how far back they are going for the 'never'.
