Shaming works.

In Ontario, Canada DUI offenders must install a Ignition Interlock Program. Which is basically a breathalyzer that the driver must blow in to start the car.

And if that is not shameful enough, there’s another shameful add-on: an red/amber light the offender must install on the front bumper, dead center. The light activates if you fail the the test after you were driving for a bit.

But the light doesn’t need to be turned on to shame. It’s very obvious that it’s there, even when it’s off.
