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. In New Jersey, customers may also install a device prior to conviction in NJ’s Voluntary Program that would result in pre-conviction credit. 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 your license was suspended for a DUI offense, the court may require you to install an ignition interlock device to prevent a vehicle from starting if your BAC exceeds 0.05%. Residents of New Jersey must have the device installed at an installation site within the State of New Jersey.
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.
