Just alcohol? (Score 1)

Why is it that whenever someone thinks of a DUI or DWI they automatically think "drunk driver?" DUI means Driving Under the Influence of alcohol OR drugs. A former friend of mine had gotten a DUI for driving after being sedated for some dental work. He was stupid and said that he was fine to drive. To get his license back, he was told that he needed an ignition interlock, even though his DUI wasn't alcohol-related.

These interlocks won't do squat for people who drive while they're on drugs.

But if it gets drunk drivers off the road, then I say go for it.
