Alcoho-Lock: Driving while drunk can be fatal for you and others. As it turns out, technology has the solution, especially for those who use bicycles or motorbikes.
If you are a cyclist or motorcyclist, or if you know a friend who uses these vehicles, the following news may interest you.
The reason for the Alcoho-Lock locking device.
As its name suggests, it's a lock for your bike or motorcycle that only unlocks when it detects that you haven't been drinking, or at least the alcohol level it detects in your blood is below the legal limit.
It works similarly to breathalyzers that exist for cars and allow the engine to start only if the driver is deemed fit to drive.
The lock has been designed by Japanese company KOOWHO and can go even further, letting friends and family members know that you are drunk and trying to unlock your vehicle to get home.
Apart from that, the lock will keep your vehicle safe from thieves (hopefully).
Its price is not cheap, since it costs $250. But it is definitely worth it if you consider that you are protecting yourself and those around you from a bad moment that may occur if you drive drunk.
