    I don't know if they still do it, but there was a device that the courts could require installed on a convicted drunk driver's car that required them to blow a breath test before driving - if they blew too high, the vehicle simply wouldn't start.

    I think that ought to be standard equipment for cars. For those who have been convicted of drunk driving, they should install a boxing glove on one of those retractable arms. If you blow too high - you get punched. And while you're trying to recover from getting the wind knocked out of you (or worse), On-star is automatically alerting the police that you're in a vehicle, attempting to drive - and drunk.

    I'm normally not a big fan of "nanny" laws, preferring that if you choose, for example, to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, that you might either be lucky and not get injured, or serve as a good bad example. But a drunk in a car is simply dangerous.
