BAIID Blood Alcohol Interlock Device helping to Combat DUI’s
Illinois citizen will not be hopping in their automobiles and leave party’s if they have too many alcoholic beverages. This is thank to a new law that may be saving lives. A new Illinois law requires first time drunk drivers to install a BAIID Blood Alcohol Interlock Device. This device requires the driver to blow into the alcohol monitors to prove alcohol limits are met. Currently seven thousand Illinois citizen have had the BAIID installed in their automobiles to date. This number is up from 3000 under the previous Illinois statute. Incidentally if you live in the Chicago area and need a great Chicago dui lawyer I suggest Mathew Miller. Matthew is among the top Chicago dui lawyer in the city. The BAIID are required for six to twelve months for typical DUI offenses. The driver that those to install the devices pay the devices installation and monthly rental fee which costs hundreds of dollars. Arizona, Louisiana, Washington, Nebraska, Alaska and Colorado all have similar laws. MADD wants every state to pass such a law they argue the law could reduce the number of DUI deaths each year, from current numbers of around 15,000. Illinois officials state they don’t have figures on how many people decide not to install the interlocks.
