The Ignition Interlock Device is a breath test mechanism attached to your vehicle’s motor, which will only allow the car to start once you provide a breath sample below a certain threshold. The device is also set up to periodically require you to breathe again to prevent others from blowing in the device for you.
If you do not submit to the test, the event will be logged in the IID’s memory, and alarms will go off until you stop the car. The device should be installed in all vehicles that you drive. An IID is not required for every DUI conviction. The experienced DUI attorneys at the Strom Law Firm can advise you on whether an IID is required in your case.
