Yeah, I meant specifically in reply to someone saying it should be standard. Well designed as an installed device like a breathalyzer to start the car I could see it potentially being a worthwhile tool in addition to licence revocation, since folks often still drive on revoked licenses.
But I think you’d need to design it very carefully for a variety of reasons including road saftey- taking away agency from the person operating the vehicle always has potential risks that would need to be carefully considered and mitigated as best as possible
Fair enough then, I can’t see the comment you were replying to so I didn’t know that. As for the revoked license thing, I honestly think you should be forced to sell your car if your license gets revoked, with significant penalties for anyone else that allows someone with a revoked license to drive their car.

All good :)
I feel like that has too many practical implications to be great policy in practice, but I can certainly agree with the sentiment
