Benefits of Owning A Breathalyzer

Breathalyzers are reviled feared/resented by drivers across the world, seen as some form of judicial bogeyman which is designed to intimidate and harass them into behaving properly and to force them to conform. Drivers resent hate them because the Breathalyzers (at least, according to them) were designed with one specific issue at stake:
to catch them out, extort money from them, and impinge upon their enjoyment when it comes to driving as well as infringe upon their civil rights.
Whenever a driver is pulled over by a police officer and a Breathalyzer is brought out it is, frankly, rather difficulttricky to ascertain pinpoint which of the two is hated more at that current time!
The truth of the matter is, that Breathalyzers will only ever catch out careless irresponsible drivers who really should not be driving in the first place. To the typical young driver, a car is nothing more than a mere fashion statement, status symbol which is designed specifically to attract and win the attention and admiration affection of their peers and which on occasion also happens to provide them with transport!
They do not appreciate that driving a car is a big responsibility and that in effect, they have a deadly weapon in their possession as well as control because after all, a car can kill, maim and cripple a person permanently rendering broken bones and shattered dreams. All it takes is one careless act, one moment of distraction whilst behind the wheel for a person to be grievously injured.
Therefore, the only people who need to fear a Breathalyzer are those drivers who have something to hide, i.e. who are in breach of both their legal and moral obligations to drive carefully and responsibly and to those drivers who are exposed as the careless people that they are by the Breathalyzers, good!
It can be fairly commented thatBreathalyzers save lives each and every year both as a preventative and curative measure. They get dangerous drivers whose concentration and reaction times are impaired due to the intoxicating effects of alcohol or narcotics which in turn means that the wider public can rest easy and enjoy a much needed degree of peace of mind.
They make drivers think twice about drinking and driving, and by breaking the cycle of impulsive decisions this means that accidents are prevented. It may seem arbitrary or even draconian but given the awesome destructive power that the ordinary car wields….this is a small price to pay.
Drivers who have been penalized when found to be under the influence of an intoxicating substance due to the findings of a Alcohawk breathalyzer may complain that this is a form of discrimination because it constitutes a new form of tax directly upon them. This must be weighed against the significant costs that are incurred by the health system for the treatment of road traffic victims, but the monetary value it should be noted will always be outweighed and can never hope to match, the sheer cost in terms of human misery and suffering.
