2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 39 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation|Section 39:4-50.16 - Findings, declarations relative to ignition interlock devices.

39:4-50.16 Findings, declarations relative to ignition interlock devices.  1. The Legislature finds and declares: a. This State's penalties for drunk driving, including the mandatory suspension of driver's licenses and counseling for offenders, are among the strongest in the nation. However, despite the severity of existing penalties, far too many persons who have been convicted under the drunk driving law continue to imperil the lives of their fellow citizens by driving while intoxicated. b. Ignition interlock devices, which permit a motor vehicle to be started only when the driver is sober, offer a technically feasible and effective means of further reducing the incidence of drunk driving. The use of these devices was initiated in California in 1986 and, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, they are presently being used or tested in at least 37 states. c. The judicious deployment of ignition interlock devices, as provided under this act, will enhance and strengthen this State's existing efforts to keep drunk drivers off the highways. L.1999,c.417,s.1.
