Camden Ignition Interlock Device Lawyer
Serving Drivers in Haddon Heights, NJ
Ignition interlock devices (IIDs) were introduced as a response to the growing concern over repeat DWI offenders and the devastating accidents often caused by impaired driving. Over time, the realization that more stringent measures were necessary led to their development and implementation.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the use of IIDS is mandated for certain DWI offenders in all 50 states. Over 30 states in the U.S., including New Jersey, require first-time DWI offenders to install these devices, reflecting a nationwide commitment to road safety.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), studies have shown that the implementation of IIDs can significantly reduce alcohol-related crashes and repeat DWI arrests, supporting their effectiveness as a deterrent.

What Is an Ignition Interlock Device & How Does It Work?
An ignition interlock device is an in-vehicle breathalyzer that prevents a vehicle from starting if it detects a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above a pre-set limit. The device is wired into the vehicle's ignition system and requires the driver to provide a breath sample before the engine starts. If alcohol is detected, the vehicle will not start, thus providing a physical barrier against impaired driving. Additionally, many devices require periodic breath samples while the vehicle operates to prevent circumvention.
For example, the IID can randomly ask for a breath sample while driving. This stops someone else from blowing into it after the DWI offender can drive away. If you refuse to provide your breath sample or whenever your breath sample exceeds the preset blood alcohol level of your device, the data will be logged automatically. In some instances, it can start an alarm until the ignition is switched off.
The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) provides drivers with an approved list of ignition interlock device manufacturers.
