I have to say this is so cool! Police department could use this data to do roadside random breath test. And there will be less killer on the road.

Thanks! Our original intention was to do exactly that, though we couldn't figure out how to do route planning with ArcGIS for more than one origin-destination pair at a time.
Probably not. The number of people driving drunk is much lower than the number of people driving distracted or driving stupid.
There may indeed be more distracted/stupid people, but the inebriated ones cause about twice the number of deaths overall in the US:
