IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE (IID) When convicted of a DUI or Refusal, use of an ignition interlock device is required on  any vehicle you operate. If you have been convicted of only one DUI or Refusal you will  need to have the IID installed for a minimum of six (6) months. The chart below shows  the periods of IID installation for a person with multiple convictions.  AS 28.35.030 (b) and/or AS 28.35.032 (g):  You are responsible for IID installation and maintenance costs. It is also your  responsibility to show proof of IID installation and financial responsibility (SR-22  insurance) when reinstating your driving privilege.  When you drink, the alcohol quickly reaches the blood stream from the stomach, and  quickly begins to affect the functioning of the brain. It slows reactions, interferes with  vision, and reduces your sense of responsibility. Judgment, hearing, speech, and balance  are impaired in relation to the level of alcohol in the blood. At the same time, alcohol  creates a false sense of confidence, and a feeling your driving is not affected. The fact is  that every additional drink lowers your effectiveness behind the wheel. It also puts you in  a higher risk category. If you drink and drive, you may lose your driving privileges, and  worse yet, perhaps your life, or take someone else’s life. Think about it. It’s not worth it. Alcohol use is a significant factor in fatal motor vehicle crashes in Alaska. Almost  45 percent of all traffic deaths each year involve alcohol. Each year, fellow Alaskans  will die on the highway as a direct result of drinking and driving. It is known that other  drugs, and especially the combination of alcohol and drugs, contribute to a significant  number of motor vehicle crashes each year. For this reason, Alaska has  strengthened its DUI (Driving Under the Influence) law.  0.02% — Judgement — Inhibitions 0.10% — Vision — Speech — Balance 0.06% — Reaction — Coordinati on 0.16% — Walking — Standing 0.08% — Serious deterioration in driving performance 0.40% — Unconscious — Possible coma and on  verge of death DUI/Refusal Convictions Period of IID installed 1 st 6 months  2 nd 12 months  3 rd 18 months  4 th 24 months  5 th 30 months  HOW DRINKING AFFECTS A DRIVER ALCOHOL • DRUGS •DRIVING
