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.

Although the program began July 1, 2003, installation and monitoring will not be available until 2004.

Costs to the Defendant:
The average cost to the convicted person for installation of an ignition interlock device is $70.00 and for monthly monitoring and calibration is $65.00-$75.00
