Last week it locked on me for no reason, causing me to drive to the interlock shop to get it unlocked. Today, it said I failed 6 times when I haven't been drinking at all. Have only had the interlock for less than two months and already on my second device. Ridiculous. I have also had problems with Smart start.

They have some of the most severe penalties in the US. Read about the penalties enforced under <a href="http://www.arizonalaws.net/arizona-dui-law-information/" rel="nofollow">Arizona DUI law</a>, not too pretty.

]]> Comment on Alexandra Kerry Was Lucky by Stephen Beck http://abionline.org/blog/2009/11/25/alexandra-kerry-was-lucky/comment-page-1/#comment-30 Stephen Beck Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:30:43 +0000 http://abionline.org/blog/?p=87#comment-30 The "Kerry's daughter" entry states: "... it's the high-BAC drivers who cause the vast majority of fatal crashes..." That should read: majority of 'alcohol-impaired' fatal crashes. NHTSA defines an "alcohol-impaired" accident as involving at least one participant with a BAC of 0.08 or higher. That includes drinking pedestrians and bicyclists struck by sober drivers. Note too that fault is not assigned; many alcohol-related crashes are caused by sober drivers. Let me add some context: In 2006 for example, there were 10.5 million drivers in accidents in the U.S. Of those drivers, 14 hundredths of 1 percent (0.14%) were alleged drinkers (0.01+) in fatal accidents.

Please uphold the good work - the more individuals know the better they'll be equipped to cope with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.
