An ignition interlock device (IID) is a device about the size of a cell phone that is connected to a motor vehicle’s starter system. The IID works by measuring the blood alcohol concentration/content (BAC) of the driver before and during the operation of the vehicle. The driver will be required to blow into the ignition interlock device in order to start their vehicle. Provided their BAC is below the programmed level, the vehicle will start as normal. If the driver’s BAC is higher than the preprogrammed level that was set by the state, the vehicle will not start. The courts in each state determine the programmed level, typically .02%, depending on the state law.
