What is an interlock program?
Interlock programs vary by state but in general, they all require some combination of the following: obtain a special license, install the device, test-taking, device calibration, results reported to monitoring agencies, compliance, and removal upon completion.
What does an interlock do?
An ignition interlock tests for the presence of alcohol in your breath. If it detects alcohol, it prevents your car from starting. While you will be required to take periodic tests during your drive, a breathalyzer in car (IID or BAIID) will never stop your car while you are driving.

What is an ignition interlock device (IID)?
An ignition interlock device (IID), also known as a blow and go, is a small handheld device that connects to a vehicle’s ignition system and measures the amount of alcohol in the user’s breath. Installing one is a common requirement following a drunk driving offense (DUI, DWI, DUI, OWI, or OVI).
In simplest terms, an interlock device, or car breathalyzer, is an in-car monitor that prevents a user from starting a vehicle until a breath alcohol test is taken. An ignition interlock device is a proper term for devices sometimes referred to as a “car interlock” or “blow and go”. LifeSafer is the premier provider of all these systems at low cost in almost 2,000 convenient locations, one that is likely near you. Ready to install?
How do you install and interlock device?
Interlocks can vary in a few ways and the ignition interlock device you receive depends on the legal requirements set by the state you live in and the specifics of your DWI/DUI/OWI. Your interlock may come equipped with or without a camera, as well as real-time reporting or other additional features. LifeSafer is approved to provide car ignition interlock systems in 45 states.

How does an ignition interlock work?
If the IID registers the breath test results (BAC or Blood Alcohol Concentration) over the pre-set limit, the vehicle will not start. If the driver’s breath test is below the pre-set limit, the vehicle will start. The interlock device needs to be serviced and calibrated at an authorized service center regularly. The length between these appointments is determined by state law but typically occurs every 30, 60, or 90 days. The LifeSafer device is the smallest and easiest to use on the market.
