Ignition Interlock: How It Works

[ajc]

I love how happy and upbeat this is lol

In the UK, DUI means your ass is off the road for a year, no IID, no special hardship/go to work privileges, you're riding the bus.

[zaydabbas]

Ah yes, the best solution to drunk driving is distracted driving with a blowy machine in your face...

[trackpackgt]

Imagine if u was traveling across country having to blow into that thing every 5 minutes at that point you be more dangerous than if you was drunk cuz you probably just drive your car into a guardrail

[johndoeed]

I blow into mine while driving I'm not stopping just for that fucking thing lol

[LongIslandCityLayout]

Well kids, there is your lesson on why you should make good decisions. This ridiculous thing isn't cheap either and you have to pay to install it. Keep that in mind.

[MrUranium]

well that sounds easy, and thank for the upbeat music in the background

[Rick-hoci]

So you have to pull over to blow? What if ur in traffic like in LA where it will take you about 10 min. Just to exit lol or do you pull over on the shoulder lane? Causing even more danger 😐

[check-static-lines]

Had a buddy who was tech savvy and was able to hack and bypass the fucking thing. Good on him. A little drunk driving never killed anyone.

I’m here because a TikTok of a girl breathing into one 😂

If you have a rolling test what if you are on a highway that had no safeway to park for 40 miles?

I was drinking and driving one time, crashed into tree and saved an old ladies cat instead of giving me a medal for being a hero I got slapped with a dui..soo much for being a drunk driving super hero..

[mohammadmusaddiqfaizan]

What if somebody else blows in it? How do they counteract that problem?

[gerardomendoza]

I wonder if it will work on a non computerized car like a 1970s and older car that's carburaded and runs with a mechanical fuel pump and has no ECM like the newer ones do 🤔 ... Or if there is a different system for the old cars

[BattlefrontZero]

Gotta say, this looks pretty dehumanizing. I get it's the driver's fault for a DUI and if they're repeat offenders I understand this but I don't know. If I was someone who just made a mistake and isn't some crazy drunk, I'd feel so embarrassed to use this.

[Redawesomeoby]

Thanks US government for putting these in all new cars in the next few years

[alucardhuskasai]

you forgot that the thing actually is more dangerous to drivers using electric start as it can/will short out the starter, which will lead you to possibly even having a wreck with more modern vehicles

as a researcher in various fields I can tell you that from 2017-2021 there have been a total of 3, 505.1 cases involving these devices leading to death, or severe body injury due to the unit malfunctioning and disabling the vehicle in critical moments. DUI is serious, but death due to these hazardous devices being re-used or installed halfway is far Worse

just imagine your on the road, and suddenly the device has an error, your now without power steering as your wheel locks up, and your engine cuts, making you veer off into oncoming traffic

with firsthand experience in this, as a passenger merely taking part in testing a suspected faulty device for research, its terrifying to see these being used ever with how faulty they often are..

[Renee-tixy]

I know you can get another person to blow into this, but I would also think there are other ways to fool it. IE. Filling something like a huge balloon and then attaching it to the interlock. You could make some sort of attachment for a leaf blower.. I don't personally have one. I probably have 5 to 10 drinks on average in a year. I'm just curious.

[joestinnett]

I have to get one installed next week on the 19th I do believe it will give me time to get to safe area and won't shut my car off before hand it seems unsafe though drunk driving is dangerous so it's a plus for the state to keep driver safe from alcohol

[skelegunsoooooo]

This is for those who had their license suspended for Drunk driving
