why should you get a second chance if you opt out and still drive drunk? that just sounds ridiculous. Its a blatant condoning of drinking and driving. Why do you are you fighting for this "right" to drink an ddrive so badly?
Frankly, the opt out is a terrible idea.
It's you looking for a compromise with irrational people.
Remember who we're talking about here: while some drivers might pick opt out for the right reasons, some drivers who have serious drinking problems such that they're already making the choice to drive drunk repeatedly DESPITE the threat of killing others, DESPITE severe penalties, can hardly be expected to make a good pick about the opt out option.
It's a common fallacy to think people who do crimes weigh the penalty - if it's 1 year in jail, it's worth it, but 5 years, they won't do it. It doesn't much work that way.
So, when these alcoholics pick the bad option and opt out to keep driving drunk, who wins?
It adds drunk drivers to the road; and when caught it's just punitive, not helping society nearly as much as requiring the devices would have.
If you just want to put drunk drivers in jail for years to keep them off the roads, then pass that, but the devices are much better.
It goes to show how bad laws are sometimes made from bad compromises.
