Pub urinals say dont drink and drive

Published by GadgetSpy May 27th, 2006 in Gadgets, Visual, Misc, Funny, Transportation.

Nassua Country policy have started a pilot program of talking urinals dubbed the Wizmark urinal communicator. This is a plastic cover that rests over the urinal drainn with a 3.5′ plastic screen that displays messages; this one aimed at stopping drunk drivers making their way home from the pub.

Upon detecting a visitor the device starts after a small delay: “Hey you Yea You, having a few drinks? Then listen up! Think you had one to many then it’s time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home. It sure is safer and a hell of a lot cheaper than a DWI. Make the smart choice tonight, don’t drink and drive”

The Wizmark was paid for by DWI fines and is being be distributed free to bars located in Nassau County.

It’s a shame the device doesn’t really ‘take the p#ss’ i.e with a real sample that is then analysed there and then giving you the red or green light to drive ;) This isn’t the first time we covered objects for the urinals, you might remember the pee goal but this is more useful and sending a serious message along with it.

    I agree it would be funnier if it took a real p#$$ test. But then again the next thing you know would have to be a device that contacts the police if you test positive for alchohol in your urine. Scary world we live in.

    I agree it would be funnier if it took a real test. Plus it would be annoying for the guys that work there to hear the automated message all day. But then again if they did have a real test the next thing you know the device would also contact the police….
