Understanding Ignition Interlock Devices: A Guide from Izzo & Assoc
If you or a loved one is facing DUI penalties, the term "Ignition Interlock Device" (IID) is likely becoming a familiar part of your vocabulary. At Izzo & Assoc, we're here to offer education and support on the legalities and practicalities surrounding IIDs. Whether it's learning about compliance or exploring alternatives, our team stands ready to assist you. And remember, you can always reach us for questions or to book an appointment at (512) 218-9292.
An IID is a gadget similar to a breathalyzer, installed in a vehicle to measure alcohol on the driver's breath. If the device detects alcohol, the vehicle simply won't start. While it may sound straightforward, dealing with an IID involves a fair bit of know-how. At Izzo & Assoc, we make the complex simple. Hold on tight as we drive you through the world of IIDs with ease!
The Legal Side of Ignition Interlock Devices
When courts mandate the use of an IID, it's crucial to understand the specifics of this legal requirement. IIDs are often a condition for regaining driving privileges after a DUI incident. They ensure that individuals who have been convicted of DUI can drive safely and legally. Our team is well-versed in the regional legal requirements and can help guide you through the necessary steps toward compliance.
It's more than just installing the device; you'll need to visit a certified service provider for regular monitoring and calibration. We have resources and connections to make these steps as stress-free as possible. Our legal wizards can also advise on how to incorporate the IID condition into your daily routine with minimal disruption.
Living with an Ignition Interlock Device
So, you've got the IID installed, now what? Living with an IID isn't always the smoothest ride, but with the tips and tricks from Izzo & Assoc, you'll be cruising in no time. Firstly, develop a habit of regular vehicle maintenance - this ensures the device remains accurate and functional. And, of course, avoid consuming any alcohol before driving, as even small amounts can set off the IID.
We know that adapting to an IID can be a hurdle. Keeping a positive mindset and staying informed makes the journey much easier. Our friendly experts are always a call away to address any concerns or to offer a word of encouragement. Just dial (512) 218-9292 and let's navigate this together.

How Does An IID Determine If I Can Drive?

We're here to assist you in understanding how the IID works in detail, should you want to know the nitty-gritty or just get a clearer picture. So, let's shed light on the technical stuff together!
What Happens If I Fail the IID Breath Test?
Sweating bullets over a failed test? First things first, don't panic. The device will simply prevent the engine from starting. You'll have to wait and retest after a short period. But be aware multiple failed attempts can have legal consequences.
Izzo & Assoc will guide you through what steps to take after a fail and how to document everything. Following our advice can save you a lot of headaches.
