The device works moderately simple. It demands you to take a compulsory before you start your car. If it detects the alcohol in that and if the reading of BAC - Blood Alcohol Concentration goes over 0.02, ignition automatically gets locked out. This system has helped the state to reduce the rate of drunk driving deaths.<br><br>How does it work? This ignition interlock device is a kind of machine that is directly connected to an ignition system of the vehicle. It is wired in a way that before starting the car, the driver has to submit a breath test through a tube joined to dashboard monitor. The system then checks the amount of alcohol in your breath sample and decides whether you can operate and control the vehicle or not.<br><br>If the results come less than .02, the car would start, but if it goes higher than the set level of BAC, the car would lock up itself. The driver would be prompted to submit more breath samples later on repeatedly in order to keep the car going. It also ensures that the driver remains sober as long as he or she drives. The driver gets 5 to 6 minutes to provide a periodic breath test, and if you do not submit one, the engine does not shut off, but It would be recorded fail by IID - Ignition interlock device.<br><br>There are legal limits set in the cars or each state as per their law enforcement. So if the outcome of the breath sample is more than it should be, it would prevent the vehicle from starting. Thus, it requires a driver to provide an alcohol-free breath sample in order to start the car and drive it.
