During Your Smart Start Georgia Ignition Interlock Program

The next thing you should know about your Smart Start Interlock program is calibration appointments. These monthly service appointments only last a few minutes and allow our technicians to check your device to ensure it is working properly. In Georgia, you must perform all your Ignition Interlock services in-state, so please keep this in mind if you are traveling.

In addition during your program, you will perform random running retests. These tests ensure you are complying with your Ignition Interlock program by prompting for a test at random times throughout your driving trip. Make sure to pull over and park safely to perform your random running retests.
