Just get someone else to breath into it. Wonder if you can do it with an artificial source? The old kind can be faked. I've seen it done.
Saw a powered wheelchair owner repeatedly doubling an extra person to the store and back while I was working in that area. Lazy turds.
I know, eh ?
Back when we did that on skateboards you had to hold on to the truck or bus for dear life....uphill.......both ways....
Then hope there wasnt a car coming when ya finally let go and swung left.
Winter was the best...no skateboard needed.

I think every car should have a breathalyzer hooked to it's ignition system. Mostly because I want to sell a system I developed to override it.
It's all about the Benjamin's!
Lead and asbestos... not a bad point. Those are not "illegal" per-se, but they simply are not allowed in the production of paint and insulation and ceiling, etc...
Specifically what I mean with cars though is the fact that cars are being mandated to support certain features that aren't in the best interest of the vehicle. Ever since John Adams defended the 8 British soldiers in court after the "Boston Masacre," the United States started life as a litigious society. So everything is influenced by lawyers... including the insurance companies.
Cars have to meet various side impact standards and things of the sort which dictate "minimum design specifications" ... such as how high a door must be to the person sitting in it, or how high the rear of the vehicle must be, which completely upsets the clean horizontal lines of cars of yesterday.
Just not a huge fan. You basically waive this standard with a motorcycle or three-wheeler because the motorcycle / trike lobby is far stronger (and emotional) than the insurance companies are willing to fight. Try telling the United States that motorcycles are now illegal.
