What is an Ignition Interlock Device?

In simplest terms, an IID is a breathalyzer device that is attached to your vehicle. Before you are able to start your car you will have to breathe into the device to prove that you are sober before your car enables driving.

This measure is often put into place following a driver's license suspension or jail time. You will have to have the device installed for a period of time that is typically based on the number and severity of your offenses. If you are sentenced to having the device for a period of months, you will need to take your car in for a device inspection every 60 days. 

Having an ignition interlock device on your vehicle can be embarrassing and a nuisance. The best way to deal with this new reality is to adhere to all of the guidelines handed down to you by the judge. It makes sense to follow the rules and have the device removed as soon as possible! A proactive DUI attorney can help you to navigate this process, and hopefully, make the time you have to have the device as short as possible.
