Ignition Interlock Systems

Ignition interlock devices (IIDs) are breathalyzer devices installed in vehicles to prevent individuals from operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. These devices are often mandated by courts as part of a sentencing or rehabilitation program for individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or similar offenses. The implementation of IIDs has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence of repeat offenses.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the use of ignition interlock devices can reduce the likelihood of repeat DUI offenses by approximately 67%. This statistic underscores the effectiveness of IIDs in promoting safer driving behaviors among individuals who have previously engaged in alcohol-related offenses.
