Yes I heard about this. Surely with the current tech, we should be

They'd just get a sober person to start the car and
then change drivers without turning the ignition off.

You cant even just turn the ignitiion off when there is no one in
the drivers seat, that would be too risky seat sensor failure wise
and you'd just see people flogging a bit of plastic pipe that allows
you to blow in the breathalyser while standing beside the driver.

France to carry £2 breathalyzer kits in their cars."

We already carry two warning triangles, two luminous vests, a fire
extinguisher, a spare pair of spectacles, a complete set of bulbs
and a first aid kit. There's probably other stuff I don't even know
about. It's a minefield out there
