NU Idea by Cristina Krastle Valderas -Alcohol Consumption Counter in Cars and MC


Hi Sir,

NU Idea
Alcohol Consumption Counter

One of the leading causes of death in the Philippines is vehicular accident. It can be caused by over speeding, road defects, fault of the driver, over loading and I think the most common is driving under the influence of alcohol.
                Driving under the influence of alcohol can be prevented by having an alcohol consumption counter attached into the steering wheel. In the Philippines, a person is allowed to drive with up to 0.05 Blood Alcohol Concentration or approximately 2 standard drinks. Instead of blood, it will be measured with the use of sweat at the palm of the driver. If it determined that the person consumed more than the allowable consumption, the steering wheel will not work.
                It will also be applicable to motorcycles, as we also have an increasing numbers of accidents involving it. The alcohol counter will be placed in the motorcycle grips. 4

Thank you.
