From a DUI to an IID, All you need to know-converted

1. From a DUI to an IID, All you need to know On any given day, over 2 million drunk drivers with three or more prior convictions share the roads with your family. While it may seem reasonable to suspend these individuals' licences, three out of four of those with a suspended licence continue to drive, endangering you and your loved ones' safety. The alcohol ignition device was created as a result of this to ensure safety and avoid such incidents from occurring again. What is an Ignition Interlock Device? An ignition interlock is a tiny device that plugs into the ignition system of a car. It's about the same size as a cellphone. A convicted drunk driver must blow into the machine to start their vehicle. If they have a measurable quantity of alcohol in their bloodstream, the car will not start. It's a simple and affordable way to ensure that offenders can drive to and from work, but not while impaired. In simple words, an IID is a interlock breathalyzer that is used to start a car. Its principal function is to determine whether or not the motorist is fit to drive based on their blood alcohol levels. If the judge orders you to have an IID installed as part of your California DUI probation, you must have it professionally installed in every vehicle you own or drive. (This prohibition does not apply to automobiles and motorcycles owned by employers.) Before starting your car, you must blow into the IID and provide an alcohol-free breath sample. If you do not, your car will not start. 1

2. Between 5 and 15 minutes after you begin driving, the IID will request random samples from you. You have six minutes to deliver a sample when the instrument asks for these "rolling" samples—enough time to pull over if you don't feel comfortable submitting a sample while driving. This is test is mainly done to make sure that the offender doesn’t make someone else take the test and drives under influence. Many people think that if you fail to provide a sample or if you fail a test while driving, the vehicle would just stop. But that’s not possible as this device is made for preventative measures and this would just negate that. So, if you do not “pass”, your alcohol ignition interlock device will not disable your car. The IID, on the other hand, will mark your log as "failure" and submit it to the court. Consider this: if repeat offenders account for about a third of the drunk driving problem, which kills nearly 11,000 people each year and injures another 315,000, and if we can reduce their repeat offences by even two-thirds, we could save thousands of lives and prevent tens of thousands of injuries each year.
