How are alcohol interlocks different from car breathalysers?
Alcohol interlocks stand apart from car breathalysers as they require installation into the vehicle's ignition system. Unlike handheld breathalysers, which are typically portable devices, car breathalysers are specifically designed for in-car use, serving as a pre-driving safety measure.
How do alcohol interlocks work?
How do alcohol interlocks work?
Alcohol interlocks work by preventing a vehicle from starting if the driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) level exceeds a predetermined limit, which is typically 0.00. Before driving, the driver must present a breath sample into the device. If alcohol is detected, the car will not start.
What is a rolling test?
What is a rolling test?
Some car interlocks, including the Andatech ALX3000, have a rolling test feature that will request a breath sample periodically while the car is in motion. When this happens, the driver needs to pull over and perform another breath test. This prevents any drinking after the initial breath test is passed.

Are there any alternatives to alcohol interlocks?
Are there any alternatives to alcohol interlocks?
Sometimes, people opt for handheld breathalysers instead of alcohol interlocks. However, using a portable breathalyser might necessitate extra supervision. A safety officer or concerned parent might have to administer the test or, with smartphone breathalysers, monitor results remotely to prevent drunk driving.
It's important to remember that handheld breathalysers can only serve as an alternative to voluntary alcohol interlock installations. Court-ordered alcohol interlocks have no substitutes.
Do alcohol interlocks need to be calibrated?
Do alcohol interlocks need to be calibrated?
Alcohol interlocks need to be calibrated periodically, just like portable breathalysers. The Andatech ALX3000 car interlock breathalyser needs to be calibrated every 12 months. However, other manufacturers may have different guidelines on calibration.
