Here's a question for the crowd.

My uncle is one of a pair of developers for a great app that may save many lives: "CheckPlusBalance helps responsible people quickly, privately and accurately determine their impairment level prior to driving. CheckPlusBalance can help individuals assess their performance regardless of the cause, including marijuana, alcohol, medication, illness or fatigue."

The problem, of course, is the name. Any suggestions for a better one?

(The fact that I'm posting this should imply no disrespect to some great suggestions that we've already heard at this week's pot-luck dinner. The more, the better!)

My first thought was something like "CanIDrive?", as that immediately conveys what is probably the most common use scenario - but my second thought is that perhaps that would imply too much authority in the app's output, when in reality it's still up to the user to make good decisions, using the apps' output as additional information. You really don't want to encourage a "but the app said it was ok!" type of situation. So hmm.

Name aside, I'm curious to try this out in various known and less-known states of impairment, whether I'm planning to drive or not, just because it seems like interesting information to have.
