Who uses the BAIID?
The BAIID system was designed to prevent drinking and driving. Many states have passed legislation requiring the use of an approved ignition interlock device as part of a restricted driver license for individuals who have had multiple drinking and driving convictions. District and Circuit courts also utilize the interlock as a form of electronic probation, alcohol immobilization, a pre-trial bond condition, or for first-time offender programs. Interlock providers and governing authorities work closely together to monitor vehicle activity as well as a persons continued abstinence from alcohol. Most of the interlocks installed are ordered by the state or court, although some people and companies install them voluntarily to prevent a second drinking and driving offense, control underage drinking and driving, or to prevent employees from driving company vehicles while under the influence.
