‘CAR ENGINE WILL REFUSE TO START IF IT SENSES YOU ARE DRUNK’
Posted on: 14/Sep/2010 1:35:30 AM
R Muthukumar a 27-year-old Research Scientist at a multi-national company has devised and designed a ‘Hi-tech Drugged Drive Preventive System for Automobiles .Once it is fitted to a vehicle, at first it would warning signals to the driver and then automatically switches off the engine. So Next time you get drunk, remember that you car will refuse to start. The new device if it is found to be working effectively once it is commercially produced, vehicles checks for drunken driving may be dispensed with. The device, as per Muthukumar works on the same principles as that of breath analyzer, currently used by the police. The device has a sensor that analyses the breath of the driver to detect the presence of alcohol content. If the driver tests positive, the LCD screen attached to it displays the message: “Sorry boss, you cannot drive your vehicle now since alcohol content is present in your body.” It will prevent the engine getting ignited.
If no alcohol content is detected, the message on display will be: “Alcohol content not detected.” To check the vision ability of the driver, the device asks him to enter a three-digit number displayed on screen. If he enters it correctly, then he will be asked to enter the code word for his vehicle. This process can prevent vehicle-thefts too, says Mr. Muthukumar.
And if you think you can cheat the device by consuming alcohol after the vehicle is started, you are wrong. For every 30 seconds, the alcohol sensor would get reactivated to ensure that the driver is in ‘proper condition.` The device repeats all the above steps and if you fail to pass the tests, the engine switches off automatically.
The device can be fitted to vehicles either by manufacturers themselves or by vehicle-owners. Mr.Muthukumar says that he has already bagged a gold medal for his product “Automatic Electric Engineering System with Hi-Tech Security System” and 50 other national invention awards.

Primarily people have to be self disciplined and care for people. And it calls for stringent punishment such as cancellation of driving license for life to payment of compensation. The following kind of creative by an youngster says it all:
I went to a party Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
So I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, Mom,
The way you said I would.
I didn`t drink and drive, Mom,
Even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom,
I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending, Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom,
I knew I`d get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me,
So responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom,
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn`t see me, Mom,
And hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,
I hear the policeman say,
"The other guy is drunk," Mom,
And now I`m the one who will pay.
I`m lying here dying, Mom....
I wish you`d get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, Mom,
And most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom,
I`ll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, Mom,
I swear I didn`t drink.
It was the others, Mom.
The others didn`t think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank
And I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I`m feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
And I don`t think it`s fair.
I`m lying here dying
And all he can do is staring.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave..
And when I go to heaven, Mom,
Put "GOOD BOY " on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom,
Not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom, c
I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
I`m becoming very scared.
Please don`t cry for me, Mom.
When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom.
Before I say good bye.
I didn`t drink and drive,
So why am I the one to die?
