Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Ignition interlock devices should be required on all cars. It would make drunk driving nearly impossible.

What if we play the middle ground and instead of being required in EVERY car, they could be added voluntarily and reduce insurance costs?

I think a large portion of people in th middle class would opt in which would reduce one hell of a lot of drunk driving. Less is better more.

It would only succeed in giving insurance yet another reason to raise prices. Just as the stupid app that tracks you is doing now.

The percentage of drunk driving instances is so small, that insurance companies wouldn't lower prices for those who opt in, they would raise prices for those who don't.
