Haven’t we learned anything from the past years? Cautioning and urging drivers not to get on the road drunk or impaired has not worked. It’s time to get the tools of enforcement. A breathalyzer is where we start. Dollars versus Mango Longs the equipment will make money. Enough to buy new ones. Mouthing the same harmless words year after year, only result in serious loss of credibility.
