You don't get it. I'm not talking about money or loved ones. I'm talking about the inconvenience of having one of these systems in your vehicle. Sure, it sounds simple on paper, but I know people who have had them in their vehicles.

I'm wondering if the people that say they are for this law are still going to be for it when they realize they have to go out in the morning and blow in one of these things to start their vehicle.

No more remote starters in winter, because they don't work with these systems.

If your vehicle has been sitting for more than a few hours you have to wait about 3 minutes for the system to warm up. In a hurry to get somewhere? Too bad. Need to get to the hospital in a hurry? Too bad, sit there and wait for your system to warm up.

When driving down the freeway at 70 MPH, get ready for the loud piercing "beep" and reach for the handset to blow into. Think cell phones are dangerous? Try getting the technique down for blowing into one of these things when you are driving. Blow for 3 seconds, hum for 3 seconds, and continue blowing until it says you are OK. If you mess up and don't do a proper blow within 3 minutes then get ready for the flashing lights and siren to go off on your vehicle.

My point is anyone that says they are for this law would change their mind once they had to actually use one of them to get to work everyday.
