Keep The Roads Safe With Your Keychain Portable Breathalyzer For Your Automobile

By Rusty Duchuss

Drinking and driving accidents are always tragic. It starts the moment a person thinks that they are in control and then gets behind the wheel of a ton of moving steel thinking that their control is going to be just as good as it was when they are sober. While there are plenty of reasons to have a portable breathalyzer, your safety and that of others leads the pack.

The amount of people that go out and have a drink and then get behind the wheel is staggering. Everyone thinks that they can handle it. When they have 5 beers and get home safe, they push the limit and have a few more the next time around. The question is, when are you past legal and what are you going to do if you are pulled over by a cop and have to take a breathalyzer test.

One of the easiest ways to see if you are okay to drive, as common sense rarely wins over in this situation, is to carry a portable breathalyzer with you and keep it in your car. This is a small investment in something that could literally save your life and that of others.

Portable breathalyzers work in much the same way of the unit that the police carry with them and that they use for testing on DUI drivers. By having one yourself, you can check your own status before you ever get behind the wheel of the car to think about driving.

People need to realize that their life is not the only one at stake when they get behind their wheel and turn on the ignition. Every pedestrian you pass and every car that is on the road next to you is a potential victim if you are driving drink. Do you really want to put not only your life, but all of those people?s lives at risk as well?

Even if you are in control at all times, you can get one for some of your friends that don?t have the same control. We all have that one friend that will not listen to reason and insists that they are fine. Let them take a pull on the portable breathalyzer. When they blow it through the roof on the read out it may finally be the shock that they need to realize they are out of control if they get behind the wheel.

Breathalyzer?s come in all shapes and sizes and are up and down the price scale. You can spend under $10 to get a very basic model or you can get one that will stand up to any test for a little less than $100. While the decision of the quality is up to you, there really is no excuse not to have one if you are getting behind the wheel.

With the cost being so reasonable, one of these devices should be a part of every automobile. While the carmakers have not taken it to that extreme, there is no reason that you cannot add this to your driving habits. The fact is that you can think you are okay and not realize that you are over the legal limit. Take the test and make sure you are okay to drive. A little bit of money for peace of mind and a safe drive. It seems like a pretty good deal all around. - 21393
