Every 30 minutes someone in this country dies in an alcohol-related crash!

 Ignition Interlock is the ONLY device that Stops Drinking and Driving!

 What is Ignition Interlock ?

 A deep lung breath analyzer placed on a person's vehicle, designed to prevent a driver from operating a vehicle when their breath alcohol concentration is at or above a predetermined limit, in Michigan the law for repeat offenders states 0.025.

 How does it work?

 Simply put, a person must blow into the “in-the-car-breath-analyzer” for approximately 6 seconds before they can start the vehicle. If the emitted breath sample is analyzed over the authorized limit the vehicle will not start, leaving the vehicle immobilized. The failed attempt is recorded and the Court is notified.

 Ignition Interlock is an important tool in modifying ones behavior and serves as an alternative to costly incarceration in your county jails. Jail just continues the revolving door process of this type of offender.

 Ignition Interlock does not rely on a defendant's self-control, it addresses the point at which the drinking person will try to drive their car.

 Ignition interlock is an inexpensive tool, approximately $2.50/day, to monitor your defendant's habits and provide the community with a safety net.

 It is proven that approximately 80% of suspended drivers will continue to drive. Taking away an offender's license is ineffective in preventing drinking and driving.

Public safety is our communities greatest concern. While an interlock device is installed on a vehicle there is up to a 95% reduction in subsequent offenses.

Random Rolling Retest - Requires random breath tests while the vehicle is started. This ensures that the person who starts the vehicle continues to drive the vehicle.
