There is already a pilot scheme in place in one of the counties where they have a device like that in the car for people that have been caught drink driving - and it does seem to work (i.e. the device works) quite well. It also requests that the driver pulls over frequently to restest to make sure no one else has blown into it recently...
I'll try and find the link
