DUI Info #9: What is an Ignition Interlock Device?
These devices are used as penalty for being arrested and charged with a DUI.
The ignition interlock device is a device that is installed in the car that you’ll need to blow into in order to be able to start your vehicle.
It is typically set to zero or another minimal number.
You also are required to do what they call rolling restarts. This is when you’re driving along and you get a beep, and then need to pull over within a reasonable amount of time, and then start it again. This could happen five minutes at a time; or it could be sporadic.

He graduated Cum Laude from the University of Cincinnati. [ ATTORNEY BIO ]
"His years of experience and knowledge were clearly evident and un-refutable. From the moment we met him we had absolutely no doubt that we had complete professionalism at our service and we could not have chosen a more qualified attorney."
"I had a number of charges and ended up getting acquitted of all of them. I truly believe his knowledge and persistence is what got me through this case. I am very grateful and highly recommend him for his services."
"I highly recommend Mr. Farrish. He is very thorough and is well liked by all of the courts. A genuine attorney and you couldn't find a better in the area."
"The absolute best DUI lawyer in the tri state. Just short of a miracle worker"
