Ignition Locks Mandate for First Time DWI Offenders

Posted on Nov 19, 2009

In the wake of realizing the serious consequences of drunken driving offences, several measures are being taken both the government and private agencies to curb the incidence of drinking and driving accidents. One such measure is the introduction of Ignition Locks in vehicles that will not allow the vehicle to start where the driver tests alcohol in his breathe.

Ignition Locks Mandate for First Time DWI Offenders

Have you ever been convicted under a DWI charge? There are 8 states in the nation that have mandated the fixing of ignition locks in the vehicles of those who have been convicted under DWI charge even once. Usage of ignition locking devices is seen more as a preventive measure than a penalty imposition.


By mandating the fixing of Ignition locks in the vehicles, it amounts to the cars preventing the driver from driving it when he/she is under the influence of alcohol. States namely Nebraska, Illinois, Alaska, Washington and Colorado have joined the bandwagon of mandating Ignition locking devices in the vehicles of those who have been convicted under the DWI legalities even once. Arizona, Louisiana and New Mexico are the first three states to introduce this mandate, out of which New Mexico is the first state to introduce this rule in early 2005. With the current count of states mandating ignition locks increasing to 8, even first time offenders are required to fix an ignition locking device in their vehicle in these 8 states.


A few organizations especially the liquor industry has expressed its opposition to the introduction of mandatory ignition locks in the vehicles. According to the American Beverage Institute (ABI), inspite of their support to the usage of ignition devices for repeat offenders, first time offender rule was not in consensus with them. According to Sarah Longwell of ABI the freedom of having a sip of wine or champagne at a party or wedding is being greatly restricted because of this rule.

Reduced DWI Fatal Accidents

Considering the fact that ignition interlock devices are rarely prescribed by the law, many organizations especially MADD have been demanding for introducing ignition locks even for the first time offenders and have so far been successful in 8 states across the nation.


The state of South Carolina has introduced mandate of ignition lock devices for repeat DWI offenders. It is the only state in the nation that has introduced the mandate for repeat offenders.


Ignition Lock Devices have been successful in reducing the chances of fatal DWI accidents thereby curbing the bane of drunken driving right at its inception. There is a 20% drop in the number of DWI deaths in the country with the help of ignition lock devices.


Sometimes we are left with limited options to curb the growing menace of DWI accidents and ignition lock devices is one such effective instrument to stop drunken driving accidents right in the beginning. If you disagree with this view point write to us with reasoning.

DWI Crash

As you all know the main aim of this website is to make you aware of the aftermath of drinking and driving. Driving laws of the state have been taking every effort to curtail any kind of drunken driving accident by imposing severe and strict punishments of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) offenders. Various safety levels of drinking and precaution have been insisted upon from time to time.

Whether the law talks about Field Sobriety Test or Zero Tolerance Test, there are certain groups of people who hardly care about any regulation that is being imposed. Despite repeated warnings and detailed explanations about the seriousness of the issues relating to drinking and driving public hardly seem to take it seriously. People tend to be careless and willingly invite trouble. Unfortunately, innocent travelers on road go to the extent of even loosing their lives or suffer from incurable health issues due to the stupid act of irresponsible few.

Well friends, we in this post have decided to take you through the journey of a drunken driver and the terrible aftermath faced by him and his co drivers on road. We strongly believe that atleast after looking at those gory real life pictures you will act more responsibly.

Terrifying Journey of a Drunken Driver

It was a long weekend and a group of friends decided to set out for a long trip in their car. All between the age group of 19 to 25, decided to have a blast with drinks. Who just doesn’t love it? So, were they totally excited about the fun.

‘Who can stop us from enjoying life’ saying so they began their journey on a late Wednesday evening. Fear factor just did not find place in their attitude, not even the safety aspect. Once their car set off on a long ride, the driver of the car began drinking. The effect of alcohol was taking its toll on the young alcoholics

Young Alcoholic

Can you see that happy face smiling as if he is on top of the world?

Destination Unknown

They had a long way to drive before reaching their destination. It was an empty road and their excitement was at its height.

Young Alcoholics

After having driven for a while they decided to halt to take rest. Their spiritful mood was shown up with spirits in their hands. Little were they aware of the dangerous journey ahead of them. With irresponsible drinking habits not only are they putting their lives under risk but also the risk of others in the car and on the road.

An hour later they decided to drive the car and reach their destination before it was dawn, completely ignoring the fact that all of them were drunk and are just not in a position to even walk. I wonder how someone can be so careless about their own lives in the first place!

The group did manage driving for a while, how long can somebody withstand the effect of alcoholic drinks, soon the driver of the vehicle lost his control and the car went crashing near a bend against another car coming from opposite direction.

The car toppled after it went crashing against the car coming in the opposite direction. While the driver the car died on the spot others suffered severe injuries. It was a fateful day for Mr. & Mrs. Paul who where travelling in the opposite direction.

It was later that they came to know that the accident was caused by a group of drunken youngsters who were on their way for an outing.

And for the group of friends, not just everyone suffered severe injuries they also lost one of their friend who was driving the vehicle.
