Question Inventions?

I was thinking of all the crazy and whacky inventions I am always saying I wish were created~

Here's an example of one of my inventions I wish was out there and available.
I wish there was an invention where you had to take a breathalizer before your car would start, so there wouldn't be any drunk drivers. I could elaborate, but ya get the picture. *LOL*

Do you have any inventions you wish were available?

When Tyler was younger I was always bugging Dave to come up with a pacifier with a little light on it or something. He was always dropping them in the night and then crying and I couldn't find it to give back without a flashlight. Same thing in the car at night, they are hard to find.

Actually they do have a machine that attaches to your car that you have to blow into before it will start. If there is any alcohol on your breath the ignition will not turn over. They use these in some cases of people who have dui's but need to be able to drive for either work or medical reasons. But they have to pay big bucks to get them attached and then only if they haven't lost their liscence.

I think it should be state to state mandatory like seatbelts. If it exists for people already charged, then maybe it's close to becoming something standard.

I remember when I was fostering brain damaged children, I always wished there was some sort of test you could do on a person to see if they would be a good parent before they became a parent. Sort of like a blood test!!!

Its something that will never happen because it would probably be against everyone's constitution rights, but sure would save a lot of heartache for little ones.
