Ignition interlock devices (IIDs) are breathalyzer apparatuses connected to a vehicle's ignition system. Primarily, its purpose is to prevent an individual from starting the car if their breath-alcohol concentration surpasses a pre-set limit. While it's a hurdle, it also represents a step towards regaining full driving privileges. Let's delve into what you need to know about these devices and how Flanders, Nancy Aty can assist you through this challenging time.

State laws surrounding DUI penalties differ significantly across the country. Some states may mandate ignition interlock devices for all DUI offenders, while others only require them for repeated offenses or when the blood alcohol concentration was especially high. We're familiar with the nuances of each state's legal framework and are prepared to guide you through the specific requirements you will need to adhere to.

Critical to making a smooth transition back into your driving routine is understanding your state's IID stipulations. This can encompass the length of time you're required to use the device, the acceptable blood alcohol threshold, and any reporting requirements. Our team stays informed on the latest legal changes, ensuring that you are fully aware of your obligations.

The installation of an ignition interlock device is not just a one-off event but the beginning of an ongoing process that would include regular maintenance and calibration.
