Thu, 17 Jan 2008 23:37:31 +0000 http://www.gadgetreview.com/2006/04/infrared-blood-alcohol-test.html#comment-220098 This sounds like a very futuristic development, but if it is viable it will be a real step forward. We have been using breath alcohol tests in the UK for over 40 years now - which is quite an amazing thought, so the next wave of technology is long overdue. Let's just watch this space and see what happens. As for letting people get away with DUI / DWI just because they had one too many with their buddies was a ludicrous comment considering the thousands of lives lost each year. People all have a choice... 3-4 units of alcohol will bring most men to the 80mg/dl drink drive limit in the UK and USA. 3 units for most women... It's simple - don't drive if you've been drinking.

Henüz ticari olarak kullanımına başlanmayan bu ürün aslında şeker hastalarının iğne kullanmadan ölçüm yapmalarını sağlamak üzere üretilmiş. Üflemelei testlerden daha kolay olduğu kesin ancan testin yapılabilmesi için kişinin bileğini uzatması gerekiyor. Belki daha uzak bir gelecekte polislerin sürücüler ile muhatap olmasına gerek bırakmayacak sistemler de geliştirilebilir. Kaynak: Gadget Review [...]

What about others in our country whose negligence, both sober, influenced, and intoxicated, kills thousands of Americans each year? Why aren't health care providers that negligently kill people prosecuted like drivers that kill people? Recent prosecutions for sleep caused fatal accidents are becoming popular. Don't be surprised if Americans aren't soon prosecuted for each and every accident that results in a fatality, even those where there were no outside influences on the driver (prescription drugs, alcohol, other drugs, et cetera). We have already seen it here where I live. So, I guess, we all better get ready to pay lots of money for accident reconstruction experts and health care experts so we can prove ourselves innocent.

More than 5 times the number that died in 9/11, and that caused us to go to war and mobilize over 300,000 troops. DUI and impaired drivers is the most important issue America can solve.

It will be up to the defense attorney to find them and will cost you thousands of dollars to prove your innocent.
