An ignition interlock is a technological tool used to prevent impaired driving. These devices may be installed in the vehicle of a driver who has received an alcohol-related driving citation in order to prevent re-offender. An ignition-interlocked vehicle will not start until the driver has given a breathe sample by blowing into the device. If the interlock device detects evidence that the driver has consumed an unsafe amount of alcohol, the interlock device prevents the vehicle from starting.
