DUI Car insurance

Ruth , San Fransico : What purpose does the ignition interlock law serve?

Drunk driving is a major cause of accidents and loss of life. This leads to high auto insurance rates. According to the National highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) as per January 2008 – out of 1.5 million impaired drivers who have been arrested o.5 million of them are repeat offenders and do not mend their ways. It has been concluded from the data of 2007, that the drivers you had BAC levels of 0.08 or higher where involved in fatal crashes and had eight times more likely to have some prior conviction fro drinking when compared to the impaired car drivers. This has promoted 47 states now to pass ignition interlock law, which is targeted at repeat offenders. This will go a long way in prevention of accidents. An interlock is fixed in the car which is a device that will lock the ignition and prevent the car from starting if the driver is drunk. Prevention is of Drunk driving is better than the consequences that result from it.

 Have a nice day.
