We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

It's not the government shutting down your vehicle. It's a regulatory requirement for car manufacturers to include a new safety device that the government is creating a standard for.
And disabling is not a requirement of this regulation. It says the device should disable OR limit operation of the vehicle when impairment is detected.
None of that hair splitting changes the basic fact that this is a question of the government taking away people’s car. The fact that it might only slow you down, the fact they’re ordering others to carry it out instead of doing it themselves, it’s all the same thing.
Do you feel the same way about seatbelt laws?
Do you feel like it's a bad thing when the government takes the license (and therefore car) of a drunk driver?
