In this video, attorney Clarke Dummit explains the features and safety measures of the ignition interlock device. The device is designed to prevent cheating and ensure safe driving. It includes a random rolling retest feature that prompts the driver to pull over and blow into the device periodically. This is similar to blowing into a straw and typically allows a few minutes for the driver to safely comply. Additionally, when the ignition is turned off, the device may require a test to ensure the driver did not consume alcohol at the end of the trip. Taking these tests seriously and listening for the device’s prompts is important, as failure to respond can result in hearings and consequences. The ignition interlock device does not shut off the car while driving, but it will sound an audible alarm and attract attention if the driver fails to pull over and complete the retest. Refusing to comply with the device may lead to being pulled over by a police officer. The primary goal of the ignition interlock device is to promote safe driving.
