 In the United States, someone is killed or injured in a drunk driving crash every 39 minutes, and an average drunk driver has driven drunk nearly 80 times before their first arrest. Currently, only 24 states and the District of Columbia, including my state, require ignition interlock devices to be installed in the vehicles of first-time offenders. Studies have shown that the use of these interlocks reduce recidivism by up to 70% in first-time repeat and high-risk offenders.
