What is an IID?
An ignition interlock device (IID), or breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID), is sometimes called a car breathalyzer. The devices are wired into a vehicle’s ignition system. Once installed, an IID will require the driver to take and pass a Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC) test before they can start the car. The device will also request random retests during most trips to prevent tampering and ensure that the driver remains sober.
If IID installation is mandated by the court following an alcohol-based driving offense, then all testing results will be shared with the state’s monitoring authority. Interlocks are often a requirement for regaining driving privileges following an offense. Devices are available on a voluntary basis to anyone who wants to install one as well.
How do I know if I need an IID?
If you are required to install an ignition interlock device following an offense, this will be made clear to you in court. Typically, state law will dictate the interlock term, so you can find this information on the Idaho Department of Transportation website. If you are at all unsure that you need an interlock, a qualified attorney should be able to help.
How much will my offense cost?
There are many costs associated with a conviction for DUI or a similar offense. They include increased insurance rates, possible lost wages, fines, and transportation expenses if your driver’s license is revoked. If you are required to install an IID, you will be responsible for installation, monthly leasing fees, and other costs. Overall, the variety of costs associated with a DUI can total upwards of several thousand dollars.
