Gov. Jodi Rell signed a law today requiring ignition interlock devices on cars operated by people who are convicted twice within 10 years of a DWI offense. The Hartford Court story, though short, hits the high points.
What does this mean?
If you are convicted twice of DWI within ten years, you will face at least 120 days in jail, probation, fines, court costs and fees, a substantial increase in insurance premiums, a one-year license suspension and, now, a requirement that you only operate cars with ignition interlock devices.
Basically, the car won't start unless you breath into a tube that makes certain no alcohol is emanating from your breath.
