I am terribly sorry about the death of your son and all others involved in drunk driving. There is no excuse. However, after all this time I would hope you realize that many offenders, some barely over the allowed alcohol amount and not involved in accidents at all, have now not only quit drinking before driving but quit drinking at all. Many of these people have a physiological makeup that leads any alcohol to be dangerous, to them and to others. Rather than yelling a screaming why not reach out with some compassion and understanding. This will not remove your justified pain, but it is a good thing to rejoin a society that has compassion. It works.

I have had my smart Start for a year now (and I have to have it for several more years) and I have not had one single problem. I have been sober for 5 years now, so I am never at risk for it to malfunction. I weas told I could unplug it and bring it indoors if it is freezing outside (only to save time waiting for it to warm up) but I never have.
The guys at my shop are very friendly and never give me a hard time. I have witnessed them gettinge yelled at and verbally abused by customers who have had their machines 'malfunction' when in reality, their machines were working just fine. They customers had either drank too much the night before or even that day.
Smart Start is not the cheapest device out there. In fact it was the most expensive in my area. Their devices are much more high-tech than some of the others, designed to reduce the amount of false negatives.
Bottom line, if you aren't trying to fool the machine and don't ever drink, your machine will work just fine.
Also, you should be grateful that you are even allowed to drive. It is a privilage.

I lost my son to a drunk driver. My son lost his life in a car accident caused by a sick person like you. Why did I read your post, because after 7 years, I still search the internet for sick, pathetic individual who post complaints about their punishment for driving drunk. The fireman at the scene found my son and my wife unconscious. My son did not survive. Each of you with your complaints about dealing with penalties you were given, should be ashamed. You should actually be in prison. Yes it sounds harsh, but you will never understand my pain until you show up at a hospital and the physician tells you your son has died. I asked to see my son and what I saw can’t be explained in words. The best thing about complaints like yours are that others can see them and respond. Like your complaint, our response will be here forever. I have seen a Facebook website which companies like yours. It looks like a college frat party invite list. Each member has joined to support sick minds like to ones that make these complaints. Each and every member these website is listed as supporters of a convicted drunk drivers or drunk drivers themselves. Each one of them can spend the rest of their life explaining to their potential college, employer, friends and family why they joined sites like these to support someone like the idiots that create them. Each of them have a choice to make. Unfortunately the drunk that killed my son, left me no choices, only pain. That is the least each of them should be required to do. Every member that complains about DUI laws and the punishment they receive, should be required to suffer like me.
