Please pass mandatory ignition interlock devices for all first time offenders for the duration of their sentence.
Why is this important?
Requiring mandatory ignition interlock devices to be placed on all vehicles of 1st time drunk driving offenders for the duration of their sentence. My 13 year old daughter was killed by a multiple repeat drunk driving offender at 3:00 in the afternoon when getting off of her school bus. Right now judges may require an ignition interlock device but are not required to do so. The average person caught driving while intoxicated the first time has actually driven 86 times while intoxicated. An ignition interlock device installed on the vehicle would help to discourage repeating the offense until the person changes their behavior voluntarily.
