Japanese car makers Toyota and Nissan are currently developing concept cars that can sense when you have had a drink and then try to drive your car. The automobile giants are focusing on the new anti-drunk technology due to the increase in road traffic accidents<\/a> caused by over-the-limit drivers behind the wheel.
\n<\/p>\n

Space age technology<\/h2>\n

The new concept cars are fitted with sweat sensors on the steering wheel that can detect the amount of alcohol in your body; sense abnormal steering and have embedded cameras in the dashboard that detect if your eyes are not in focus.<\/p>\n

Advancements in technology and also the rising yearly figures of fatalities and injuries involving drunk drivers on our roads has seen the need for these concept cars to become a reality.<\/p>\n

Education is required<\/h3>\n

Road safety awareness groups will tell you that binge drinking and care-free attitudes among the young alongside officers relying more on speed cameras to keep our roads safe make for a dangerous environment. <\/p>\n

When you consider that a quarter of all convictions for drink driving in the U.K. are aged between 17 – 24 and won’t be able to afford these concept cars once made available to the public then you begin to understand that education is the key.<\/p>\n

If you have been involved in an accident with a drunk driver and want to seek compensation for your injuries then get in contact with The Injury Lawyers<\/a>, we are experts in the field of road traffic accident compensation claims.<\/p>\n
