Ala. law requires ignition locks for DUI offendersANNISTON, Ala. (AP) — A new law in Alabama requires people convicted of drunk driving to install ignition locks on their vehicles. The new law took effect Sept. 1. It requires convicted drunk drivers with a blood-alcohol level of .15 or higher to install an ignition lock in their vehicle. Before starting a car, those drivers must exhale into a breathalyzer. If they have been drinking, the lock will prevent the engine from starting. The Anniston Star reports (http://bit.ly/Q61MeY ) that first- and second-time offenders must keep the locks on their cars for two years. A third conviction would force a motorist to use a lock for four years, while a fourth conviction would require that the system stay installed for five years. ___ Information from: The Anniston Star, http://www.annistonstar.com/ |
