How to Get Started with a Lifesafer Ignition Interlock Program
Driving under the influence is a serious offense that can lead to dangerous consequences. To address this issue, many states require individuals convicted of DUI to install an ignition interlock device in their vehicles. One such device is the Lifesafer ignition interlock, which is designed to prevent drunk driving by requiring drivers to pass a breathalyzer test before starting their car. If you are required by law or choose to install a Lifesafer ignition interlock device, here’s what you need to know to get started.
Understanding Lifesafer Ignition Interlock
Lifesafer ignition interlock is a device that prevents drivers from starting their vehicle if they have alcohol on their breath. The device works by requiring the driver to blow into a mouthpiece connected to the device, which measures the blood alcohol content (BAC) level of the driver. If the BAC level exceeds the legal limit set by each state, typically 0.08%, then the vehicle will not start.
Lifesafer ignition interlock devices are equipped with several features that help ensure accurate and reliable results. The devices use advanced technology like fuel cell sensors and GPS tracking systems that record data for later analysis and reporting.
Getting Started with Lifesafer Ignition Interlock
To get started with a Lifesafer ignition interlock program, you’ll need to find an authorized installation center near you. You can do this by visiting the Lifesafer website or contacting their customer support team for assistance.
Once you’ve found an authorized installation center, schedule an appointment for installation of your Lifesafer ignition interlock device in your vehicle. During installation, your technician will explain how your device works and provide training on how to use it properly.
Using Your Lifesafer Ignition Interlock Device
After installation, it is essential to follow all the rules and regulations set by your state, as well as Lifesafer, to ensure that you are using the device correctly. You will need to blow into the device every time you start your vehicle and periodically while driving.
To pass the breathalyzer test, make sure that you have not consumed any alcohol before driving. If you fail a breathalyzer test, the device will record it, and depending on your state’s laws, it may trigger an alarm or notify authorities.
Maintenance and Removal of Your Lifesafer Ignition Interlock Device
It is crucial to maintain your Lifesafer ignition interlock device regularly. Your technician will provide instructions on how to clean and calibrate the device to ensure its accuracy.
Once you have successfully completed your Lifesafer ignition interlock program period without any violations or issues, you can request removal of the device from your vehicle. To do this, contact an authorized Lifesafer technician who will remove the device from your car safely.
In conclusion, a Lifesafer ignition interlock device is an effective tool in preventing drunk driving accidents. By understanding how it works and following all rules and regulations set by your state and Lifesafer, you can safely operate a vehicle while preventing harm to yourself or others on the road.
