The Alberta Ignition Interlock Program is designed to allow people convicted of impaired driving, the opportunity to have their driving privileges reinstated. The program places a breathalyzer device in your vehicle that requires a negative BAC breath sample before your vehicle’s ignition can be engaged. In other words, you will be unable to start your car if any alcohol is detected by the device.
Drivers who have been charged with operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of over 0.08, or have been convicted of refusing a breathalyzer test, are automatically subject to the Interlock program.
