What Does “Ignition Interlock” Mean on My Driver’s License?

Do you have a DUI arrest or conviction in your state? If so, you may need to install an Ignition Interlock in your vehicle. But before, or even after, an Interlock installation, there’s a whirlwind of activity that may be going on revolving around your DUI. It might be a little overwhelming to digest. After a mandatory visit with your state office like the DMV, they may have issued you a different driver’s license with “Ignition Interlock” on it. What exactly does this different driver’s license mean for you?

Can the Ignition Interlock Detect Drugs?

Have you heard that an Ignition Interlock can detect drugs? If someone is convicted and/or arrested for a DUI, sometimes a mandatory court or state requirement to reinstate their driving privileges is to install an Ignition Interlock Device. The Ignition Interlock, or more commonly known as a breathalyzer, measures your breath alcohol concentration or BrAC. So, can the Ignition Interlock detect drugs like opioids, prescription medication, cocaine or marijuana?

Is There More Substance and Poly-Drug Abuse with Older Drivers?

Did you know about Older Driver Safety Awareness Week?

Is Impaired Driving Still a Leading Cause of Traffic Fatalities in the U.S.?

Do you know which metro city in the U.S. is the most dangerous to drive in? From The Houston Chronicle's investigative report, Houston leads in vehicle-related fatalities than any other city with Dallas metro areas trailing as number two. Although Houston led the country with fatalities involving speeding, pedestrian deaths or traffic backups, Dallas ranks in the nation’s top three for alcohol and drug-involved deaths. In fact, in 2016, alcohol-impaired driving crashes alone accounted for 28 percent of all traffic-related deaths in the U.S. In 2016 in Texas, 811 drivers were killed with their known BAC results. It's clear that alcohol and drug-impaired driving is still a leading cause of death in traffic fatalities in the U.S. We must continue to push for stronger enforcement, awareness and reliable technology to reduce these numbers and leave our roadways safer.
