Who will Pay the Costs?
Ned Adriance, Sen. Tom Udall’s communications director, TV Shows and Series says via email. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is also partnering with automobile manufacturers to develop alcohol detection systems that can be installed in vehicles. The NHTSA will work with the private Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety, as well as directly with vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and other interested parties, including institutions of higher education with expertise in automotive engineering to develop the technology. The bill also provides funding for research and development of “advanced alcohol detection software.” The legislation will establish a pilot program of fleet vehicles equipped with the software, including those from federal, state and private partners, a press statement says. The Ride Act doesn’t just call for automakers to implement alcohol detection technology on their own. Who Will Pay the Costs? That means the technology will be tested on vehicles before being mandated for consumers.
In the United States alone, 30 people die every day in drunk-driving-related crashes. That equates to one person every 48 minutes. But simple technology to prevent – and possibly even end – drunk driving exists. The lawmakers believe the law could save 7,000 lives per year. So why aren’t carmakers required to implement it? New legislation in the United States aims to do just that: require all new cars be equipped with alcohol detection systems by 2024. The Reduce Impaired Driving for Everyone Act of 2019, known as the RIDE Act, was introduced to Congress by Senators Tom Udall (D-NM) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who co-sponsored the Senate bill, and Representative Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) in the House.
Once the pilot program is underway, results will initially be evaluated in the first 12 months, and again every 180 days. Once it’s installed, the car won’t start until someone breathes into the IID with an alcohol-free breath. We can get some insight from current technology, though that doesn’t necessarily reflect the future. An ignition interlock device (IID) is essentially a Breathalyzer connected to a car’s ignition system. As for how it will actually work? The target for implementing the federally mandated technology in all new vehicles will be no more than two years after the law is enacted.
However, instead of kidnapping Becky, Nathan instead strangles her, and then he and Shauna dismember her corpse on February 19, 2015. Nathan is serving a 33-year minimum sentence and Shauna’s sentence is 17 years for manslaughter. In Cleveland, Ohio in 1952, preacher’s wife Betty Butler loses her family and becomes an outcast in her community for engaging in lesbian extramarital affairs. Upon returning to her hometown of Cincinnati, she finds a helping hand in married woman Evelyn Clark, but Evelyn pays Betty to sleep with her, leaving Betty feeling like a sex slave and wanting out of the relationship. In October 1952, when an intoxicated Evelyn comes on to her, Betty responds by strangling her with a handkerchief and then drowning her.
