The California Assembly Public Safety Committee will hold a hearing today on AB 91, a proposed bill that would create a pilot program requiring all convicted DUI drivers in four counties to install and use an ignition interlock device.

If passed, AB 91 will require all drivers convicted of DUI in Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and Alameda counties between July 1, 2010 and July 1, 2015 to use an ignition interlock device. Those four counties account for 40 percent of all DUI arrests in California.

Ignition interlock devices prevent a vehicle from starting if the driver is unable to provide an alcohol-free breath sample. The device also requires the driver to perform periodic “rolling retests” to ensure that he or she remains alcohol-free.

Mandatory use of ignition interlock devices is becoming more and more prevalent in California DUI cases, but many drivers aren’t sure how the device works. Gaining a better understanding of ignition interlock technology will help if you’re facing mandatory IID use after a California DUI arrest.

An ignition interlock is a small device - about the size of a cell phone - that, when installed in your vehicle, prevents the car from starting if you’re unable to provide an acceptable breath sample. In addition, you’re required to perform periodic ‘rolling retests’ to ensure that no alcohol was consumed after the car was started.

Some drivers express concerns about the safety of ignition interlock devices, but rest assured that IIDs are perfectly safe. For example, you are given plenty of time to pull to the side of the road to perform rolling retests.
