N.J. Considering Ignition Lock Law For DUI Drivers

TRENTON (AP)
CBS News
Repeat DUI offenders in many states are required to have ignition interlocks that keep the car from starting if the driver has been drinking.

CBS News

A bill requiring anyone convicted of drunken driving to install alcohol-sensing ignition locks on their vehicles is scheduled for debate in the New Jersey Senate Monday.

The proposal would require the locks for as long as a drunken driver's license is suspended or longer if a judge orders it.

The measure has been dubbed "Ricci's Law," after a 17-year-old from south Jersey who was killed riding his bike. The man who ran him over had a previous DUI conviction and a blood-alcohol level four times the legal limit.

At least eight states have similar laws. Mothers Against Drunk Driving supports the proposal.

A prior attempt at advancing the legislation in New Jersey failed, though judges have discretion to order the ignition locks.

 I can see the good and bad in this. It'll help keep some of the drunks off the road, then again...an alkie won't buy it.

Senosors detect abnormal steering, what happens if your on a muddy or icy road? A camera that is aimed at your pupils?

We need PWI senosors on this site to detect abnormal keyboard typing.

Even I agree for this. I think it is high time that laws should be strengthened. However, at times police charge people on borderline cases too which isnt fair. My cousin had to hire a Los Angeles DUI attorney to get his charges dismissed.

They need to go back to the bar the person was drinking at and charge the bartender who kept on letting someone drink after it was obvious the person was drunk.

If ya don't have a designated driver you haffta fork over yer keys, which will be returned to you when you can pass a sobriety test.

I'm sure there's more to that story, Edwin, cousin or otherwise.

That is a brilliant suggestion and the
potential immediate advantages are obvious.
But, equally obvious is the sad fact that any
idea that enforcement of such rules is just
not practicable in Litigation Land (Murica)
