If
you have recently walked into a public restroom in Michigan (USA) and
heard a voice talking to you from down below, questioning whether you’ve
drunk too much, don’t be too alarmed; you have not been followed in
there by an angry-yet-cautious dwarf. No, instead you may have stumbled
into one of many toilets which are using motion-sensitive urinal cakes
in their fight against the huge number of people deciding to drink and
drive.The effort hopes to get people talking about the issue of driving
while intoxicated, so they become aware of their own behaviour after
having had a few drinks. Often it is hard to measure one’s state of
inebriation as alcohol numbs our sense of self-perception as well as our
ability perceive others and our surroundings properly.
