Alcohol interlock system
Prevents people from driving if impaired by alcohol. An alcohol interlock is a breath testing device wired into a vehicle’s ignition system. Before the vehicle can start, the driver must blow into the device. If alcohol above a pre-set limit (usually zero) is detected, the vehicle won’t start.
Requires drivers to complete a test at the start of a journey and random intervals during a journey. Allows different breath-alcohol limits to be set.
