Ignition Interlock Device
Ignition Interlock is a device installed in a motor vehicle, which
prevents the ignition from starting unless the driver blows a breath sample
into the device. If the alcohol concentration of the breath sample exceeds
0.05, the motor vehicle engine will not start.
Requirements:
Section 316.193, Florida Statutes, requires ignition interlock devices to be
installed on the vehicles of persons convicted of DUI. The ignition interlock
program began July 1, 2003, but affects anyone convicted of DUI after July 1,
2003 upon eligibility of reinstatement for driver license.
A person convicted of DUI who applies to the Division of Driver Licenses for
driver license reinstatement will be directed to an ignition interlock
provider. The ignition interlock device must be installed on the vehicle prior
to receiving a license.
