HOW DOES THE INTERLOCK IGNITION DEVICE WORK?

If you are required by the court to have an interlock ignition (BAIID) device installed in your car, you should be familiar with how it operates.  Once the device is installed, the driver must exhale into the device in order to start the engine.  If the breath indicates a blood-alcohol level (BAL) below .025, the car will start with no problem.  However, if the BAL is over .025, the engine will "lock" preventing you from starting the car, and a notification will be sent to authorities alerting them that you tried to start your car after consuming alcohol.
