An override mechanism seems reasonable to me. How about: when you engage the override, a light on your car turns on, as a signal to everyone else on the road that you may be under the influence. Cops who see the light can consider it "reasonable suspicion" to pull you over.

That sounds awful.

  Why? This fixes the problem of "what do I do if I can't start my car in an emergency?"

      In what kind of emergency would this pose a problem? If you're fleeing a natural disaster, the cops will be fleeing too, so they aren't going to pull you over. If you're fleeing someone who wants to kill you, you want to be pulled over so you can receive police protection.

I'm sure you could come up with many more possible scenarios

So I'm expected to waive my Fourth Amendment rights because it's an emergency? Maybe you trust cops to not be power-tripping assholes, but I sure as hell don't.
