What is an ignition interlock device? An ignition interlock device, or IID, is a piece of equipment installed in a vehicle to prevent drinking and driving. The unit consists of a handheld device, a removable mouthpiece to blow into, and a cord that wires into your vehicle's engine.
Before you are allowed to start the vehicle, you must blow into the mouthpiece on the device. If the level of alcohol detected is below the maximum threshold, you will be allowed to start your vehicle. If the breath sample fails, you will not be allowed to start your vehicle.
Ignition interlock devices have been monumental in helping to reduce the number of repeat drunk driving offenses. Most states now require ignition interlock devices to be installed after all DUI offenses, including first offenses. Intoxalock continues to provide devices with the highest level of accuracy, precision, and reliability. Contact us today to learn more about installing an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.
