Smartphones applications are as different as clouds in the sky, but one designed and implemented on Android and iPhone systems by the Maryland Highway Safety Office looks to be among the best. The reason is simple, considering that once you use this application you can avoid a disaster or even a small accident which can happen when you drink too much and have alcohol in the blood far higher than the admitted limit.
You can calculate how much alcohol is in your blood
Practically, we are talking about ENDUI or End DUI, which can measure the blood-alcohol content. To do so, you have to get it on your smartphone and enter some data. Sex, height, weight in the first place, after you have to enter the number of drinks that you have taken “a board” and this way the system will figure out how much alcohol is in your blood. After this is measured, two interactive games should be played because they will determine your reaction time and cognitive ability, two very important factors in this type of situation.
It calls the cab for you
Depending on the results, the application has the property of using the GPS technology for calling cabs and preload potential phone numbers for potential designated drivers. The application is funded by federal money reserved for drunken-driving education efforts and it is among several in a handful of states to tackle drunken driving. It was developed, as I said before, by the Maryland Highway Safety Office for about 50,000 dollars and it can be accessed for free on your smartphone. So, I think it is a good option for every user as long as it can help you to stay away from car crashes or, even worse, from injuring badly or killing you or somebody else.
