Device helps keep D.W.I. offenders and others safe

Article Abstract:

Police departments in the U.S. are beginning to require repeat drunk driving offenders to install a breathalyzer interlock device on their cars. If the device detects alcohol levels above a certain measure, the vehicle will not start. Once underway, the driver then must periodically retest, and pass, or the car honks its horn and flashes its lights. Service garages willing to handle analyzer-equipped vehicles are becoming more widespread. Federal regulations tie transportation aid to the implementation of the interlock program. 32 states have such programs in place.
