An ignition interlock is an after-market device installed in a motor vehicle to prevent a driver from operating the vehicle if the driver has been drinking. The goal is to reduce drunk driving and fatalities caused by impairment.
Do they work? Are interlock devices effective?
As confirmed by the NSW (New South Wales) Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, "There is substantial international empirical evidence to support the effectiveness of interlock devices in reducing (drunk) driving."
But researchers in NSW set out to do their own study with a slightly new focus.
The results of this recent study
The full survey can be found here. But the overall conculsion was: "Alcohol interlocks significantly reduce drunk driving while interlocks are active and (to a modest extent) following their removal."
While this isn't earth-shattering news to most people, it is another piece of evidence that backs the importance of interlocks.
