Arizona: Ignition Interlock Devices for First Time DUI Offenders

Should the government reduce all speed limits to 10MPH? If not why not?

WTF kind of question is that? When someone drives on the road, they are aware that the speed limit is higher than 10mph, and they consent to other people driving higher than 10mph. Nobody consents to being on the road with other drunk drivers. This issue is as close to a consensus as you can get in america. Hell, drunk drivers are even afraid of eachother.

Having an ignition interlock device doesn't reduce your freedom in general. It just reduces your freedom to drive drunk. This makes it much different than other restrictions on freedom that are vulnerable to the slippery slope criticism.

If everyone had one, less people would drive drunk, and everyone would be safer. Insurance premiums would be lower. Would you really feel less free? They'd be developed for a mass market, and come standard in all cars, and therefore would be much less expensive than what they currently cost.
