Safe Streets: Preventing Drunk Drivers
| Division: | Health Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | St. James-Assiniboia | | City: | Winnipeg, MB | | School: | Bruce Middle School | | Abstract: | In Canada over 222,260 people are injured every year in alcohol related crashes. I wanted to see if I could create a device that can immobilize a vehicle if the driver is under the influence of alcohol using a breathalyzer and Parallax BASIC stamp. I was able to create a system which would prevent drunk drivers from operating a motor vehicle. |
