Title:How Do Ignition Interlock Devices Work

Description:Before we can fully explain the problems ignition interlock devices, or IIDs, present, it’s imperative to understand how they work. IIDs prevent the engine from starting if the driver’s blood alcohol content is above a specified limit. Drivers have to blow into a tube, similar to a Breathalyzer, before the engine will start. The obvious solution for drivers who have been drinking is to have someone else blow into the device alternatively. However, this is blocked by requiring periodic tests as the car is being driven. When required, drivers must pull over and blow into the IID again before they can proceed. They are uniquely designed to measure the temperature of the air being blown into it, as well as the strength of the breath. That prohibits drivers from using something like compressed air to trick the ignition interlock device.
