Why is it that whenever someone thinks of a DUI or DWI they automatically think "drunk driver?" DUI means Driving Under the Influence of alcohol OR drugs. A former friend of mine had gotten a DUI for driving after being sedated for some dental work. He was stupid and said that he was fine to drive. To get his license back, he was told that he needed an ignition interlock, even though his DUI wasn't alcohol-related.
These interlocks won't do squat for people who drive while they're on drugs.
But if it gets drunk drivers off the road, then I say go for it.

My mother went to the store to purchase something. The price on it was $20. It was also marked 25% off. It rang up as $18 instead of $15. My mother pointed this out, but the cashier would have none of it. "No, no, that sounds like 25% off."
How the hell can we expect these people to handle 18 cent pieces when they can't even figure out what 25% of 20 is?

A perfect example of people who have far too much time on their hands.
those archeic units are still nice for the kids play room where you can pop in a tape for um.
Plus, you get the added joy of removing those peanut butter sandwiches that ever-so-neatly fit in the slot.
So tell me... What makes more sense? The CBDTPA? or this?
