Question about breathalyzer locks

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever had a breathalyzer lock on your car or known someone who has? Or do you know anything about them? Do they work well? I'd like to get one installed on my mom's car before she hurts herself or someone else. She's somehow survived this long without hitting anyone, getting in a serious accident, or getting a DUI, but if nothing changes it's only a matter of time. She literally has panic attacks if anyone tries to take her car keys--at least her therapists finally saw her freak out when they asked for the keys the last time she showed up to an appointment drunk.

They hadn't believed me until then, but when I asked about a lock, they said it sounded like a practical, workable solution, but (even though mom 's therapy is through an addiction treatment center) it wasn't something they had a lot of info on. Googling turns up more info on how to cheat the things or get them removed than reputable businesses in my area that'll install them, and I was hoping someone would tell me it'd be worth the bother.

From what I can tell it'd cost about $800 plus installation fees, which is a lot of money for me if they don't work as advertised

This might be a good question for the police or even your auto insurance agent.

Even fitting one raises your insurance, because the insurance company knows it is for a reason and therefore you are a higher risk.

Have you tried showing your mom some of the Aussie drink drive adverts? They usually cure anyone of drinking and driving.

If the choice is between an expensive not-sure-if-it'll-work breathalyzer lock and your mom having panic attacks, I vote for panic attacks. It sucks for her, but maybe your therapists can work on that issue. It's not normal, and I'd bet good money it has to do with confronting the fact that in her condition, she's not fit to do something that most people take for granted, i.e. drive a car. Keeping her keys means she's not THAT bad, not yet.

Anything is better than her driving drunk and maybe hurting or killing someone. Panic attacks seem like a pretty trivial problem in comparison to going to prison for vehicular manslaughter.
