This new legislation was introduced at the request of Governor David A. Paterson. The legislation was subsequently passed by both houses of the New York State Legislature and officially signed into law on November 18, 2009. This law was designed to enhance penalties against those guilty of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol that endanger the health and safety of children. Cheerio Dear Bestdefender,

They continue to go off while driving. You must blow while still driving in order to keep the siriens, horn or lights from going off. I believe blowing your horn or flashing your lights at others on the road for no reason is a violation of DMV, but this is what this device does. Not to mention, ANYONE can blow into the device. What I want to know, what good does these devices do if anyone, not only the driver can blow into the mouth piece. I am not the person who received the DUI or had to have the device installed, but I am a person who voice should be heard. These are a total waste of consumers money, and risk to innocent drivers and should not be allowed in the cars. There must be a better way to keep druck drivers off the road, but I can tell you, this isn't the way. California needs to wake up and request from the people who have had these installed how well they work, not the manufactors.

I've blown a couple failed tests with no alcohol in my system but they never reported a BAC level. However the other day I got called into work early in the morning and had drank the night before. I blew once and failed and didn't complete the retests, I just unplugged the system and found another way to work. I am supposed to turn my machine in today to get it calibrated and I am petrified that they're going to send this report to the courts and they're going to extend my sentencing or even revoke my license or kick me out of this program. I have been reading for hours all over the internet to find out what might happen in the case that I bailed on completing the tests but to no avail. It seems no one has an answer.

I had a high BAC and was ordered by the court to have it installed. I quit drinking the day i got my DUI and haven't had a drink in 9 months. I however have blown failed tests on my device numerous times. The company I am dealing with can't explain the problems I'm having. I once blew a .159 on a rolling retest 10 minutes after starting my truck with a .000. The devices are completely unreliable. The kicker is when i did blow the .159 false reading it didnt shut my truck down, call the cops or have a helicopter land to arrest me. It just put me in a 5 day lock out where i had to go pay $40 to get it unlocked. My point being even if i was twice the legal limit as the device said I was .... it still let me continue to drive!!!
