Can Parents Pay for Their Child’s Interlock Device?

Parents, if your child is convicted of a DWI or DUI, an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) could be mandatory depending on your state and the case’s circumstances.

Do not worry, though. Interlock Devices are the safest and best tool to use when preventing drunken driving. In addition, most Devices’ breath tests take seconds, leaving little room for disrupting someone’s everyday routine.

So, can Smart Start provide an option for parents to pay for their child’s Device?

The short answer is, absolutely.

Smart Start strives for utmost convenience at what could be a stressful time. You can create an installation appointment for your child at your nearest service center and be present at the appointment for them, too. When you call our customer care center, you’ll be able to pay your child’s IID fees with no hassle. We are flexible, and offer recurring payment options.

Interlock Devices for a Loved One –  A Choice for Parents to Invest in Safe Driving

On a voluntary basis, parents invest in a Smart Start Interlock Device regardless if their child was convicted of a DUI or not. For parents, an IID could mean extra protection every time their child drives.

Interlock Devices are also worthwhile if you and your loved ones are sharing a family car. Another option is if a child starts college for maximum security when they are behind the wheel.

An IID is less expensive than a DWI/DUI conviction, and they help keep the roads safe for everyone

Separating Drinking From Driving

What most people don’t know is that IID’s are the only physical barrier in preventing drunk driving.

If someone tests on their Interlock Device, and their breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) reads above or at the state’s fail limit, the vehicle will not turn on. An Interlock Device with fuel cell technology, like Smart Start’s, is the most accurate tool in alcohol monitoring while driving.

Smart Start offers Interlock Devices for court or state-ordered cases, or on a voluntary basis. Call today to schedule an Interlock Device appointment at 800-831-3299, or fill out our quick and easy online form.
