New Alabama Ignition Interlock Law Passes

Ignition interlock devices are responsible for saving lives each day, effectively taking the choice to drive drunk from the hands of those who have already been convicted of a drunk driving offense. In accordance with 20 other states, Alabama has recently passed a new law that would require the mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device for all DUI offenders in the state. This Alabama ignition interlock law will allow a convicted DUI offender who tested at a .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to install an ignition interlock on any vehicle driven. With support from MADD, the new Alabama ignition interlock law focuses on any person convicted of DUI, including first-time offenders. With the new Alabama ignition interlock law, the state should see less impact from drunk driving accidents overall. Read more here: Ala.
