• Abstract:
  This report was prepared by the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in response to Section 203 (c) of the Highway Safety Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-17; April 2, 1987). The report contains a historical overview of the interest in ignition interlock devices and of the early devlopment and research on different types of devices. It provides a description of current technology, its use, the results of some laboratory testing of current devices, a description of current state legislative and judicial activity, a discussion of the problems this technoloy must overcome, and an assessment of the effectiveness and potential for applicaton in preventing alcohol impaired driving. The report concludes that the technology is feasible but there is not yet sufficient evidence available to judge the effectiveness of the devices in deterring alcohol impaired driving. The report concludes that the technology is feasible but there is not yet sufficient evidence available to judge the effectiveness of the devices in deterring alcohol impaired driving. /Abstract from report summary page/
