Difficulty: MediumLegal Consequences, Suspensions, and DUI Penalties

An Ignition Interlock Device (IID) required as part of a DUI penalty mandates a breath test only to start the vehicle's engine and does not require periodic breath samples while the vehicle is actively being driven.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False. Ignition Interlock Devices (IIDs) require both an initial breath sample to start the vehicle and random rolling retests while the vehicle is in motion.
The statement is false because regulations governing Ignition Interlock Devices require random rolling retests while the vehicle is running to ensure that the driver does not consume alcohol after starting the vehicle or use another person to start it.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Examine the operating requirements for court- or administrative-ordered Ignition Interlock Devices.
Recognize that IIDs incorporate anti-circumvention measures to ensure continuous driver compliance.
DUI enforcement regulations require devices to prevent tampering and proxy testing.
2
Evaluate the statement's claim that no breath samples are taken while driving.
Conclude that the statement is false because 'rolling retests' are standard statutory requirements.
Rolling retests require the driver to provide breath samples at periodic intervals after the engine has started.
