A vehicle comprising:

• a steering wheel assembly comprising:
• a steering wheel including an inlet hole;
• a breath sensor including an inlet for detecting an alcohol level within an air sample;
• and
• a breathed air delivery device provided between the steering wheel and the breath sensor, the breathed air delivery device fluidly coupling the inlet hole of the steering wheel to the inlet of the breath sensor, the breathed air delivery device including a rotating portion that rotates with the steering wheel and a fixed portion that does not rotate with the steering wheel;
• and
• an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the breath sensor, the electronic control unit configured to perform one or more vehicle operating procedures in response to receiving the detected alcohol level from the breath sensor and determining that the detected alcohol level exceeds a predetermined threshold.
