Ignition Interlock Devices

In California, Ignition Interlock Devices, or IIDs, are often required to operate the car of a driver with a restricted license. Anyone convicted of a DUI in Los Angeles County is now required to install an IID on their car.

IIDs are essentially breath alyzers connected to your car that prevent your car from operating until it determines your Blood Alcohol Concentration is under a pre-programmed limit. If ordered to install an IID by the court, you must pay to have an IID installed in your car by a certified IID installer within 30 days of the court’s order. You must then fill out and send a “Verification of Installation” form to the DMV, which serves as notification and proof that the device was installed. You must then pay an administration fee to the DMV for processing your Verification of Installation form. If you do not own or have access to a car and are ordered to install an IID, you must notify the court of these facts within 30 days.

Furthermore, you must pay and arrange for a certified IID installer to recalibrate and maintain the IID every 60 days. Should the installer find evidence that the device has been tampered with, the installer will notify the DMV. The installer will also notify the DMV if you fail to properly maintain the device. During the time that you are ordered to have an IID, a restriction is placed on your driver’s license stating that you may only operate a vehicle with an IID installed. Should you fail to install and maintain an IID when ordered to do so by the court, you are guilty of a misdemeanor crime and face up to six months in the county jail and may have to pay up to a $5,000 fine.
