ignition interlock systems

Ignition interlock systems are devices installed in vehicles to prevent drunk driving. They require the driver to submit a breath sample before starting the engine. If the device detects alcohol above a certain limit, the engine won’t start. Some systems also perform random checks while driving to ensure the driver remains sober. These devices are often used by individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) as part of their legal penalties. Overall, ignition interlock systems promote safer driving and help reduce incidents of alcohol-related accidents.
