FL Govt Require Mandatory Ignition Locks After 2nd DUI
About time they addressed this nationwide drunk driving situation.
On Sunday it became law in Florida that if you've been charged and convicted of more than one DUI, the government has the right to install a Breathalyzer Ignition Locking Device in your car(s). Before you can start your car you have to blow into the device and if your blood alcohol level is above 0.05 it locks your ignition switch.
You also have to pay a $70 installation charge and $67 a month to maintain the device.
The state government has already sent 4,000 drivers notices that they are subject to having the device installed.
1,000 people were killed last year because of drunk drivers in Florida alone.
