It was so cool in high school and college to soak gummy candy in vodka. It was probably the best way to imbibe alcohol that you were too embarrassed to admit was disgusting.

As an adult, much to my surprise, police in Hollister, CA issued a warning against soaking gummy candy in alcohol.

I assume this goes for Jell-O shots, too?

Regardless, just in case any of you think that secretly digesting alcohol via gummy bears will make an ignition interlock say that you are sober, think again. Don’t waste your time. You already made a stupid mistake. Don’t make another one and waste a lockout on this.

Last Friday, Michael Thomas Daigle of Farmington was arrested for a DUI in Connecticut. Even worse, he hit a telephone pole and had children in his car. Thankfully, no one was injured.

Daigle was charged on multiple offenses, one of them being the failure to install an ignition interlock from a previous DUI.

Let’s think about it. If Daigle had installed his ignition interlock, this scary incident would not have happened. Maybe those judges do know what they’re talking about when they require you to install an ignition interlock device…

With the risk of endangering child passengers, installing an ignition interlock is more important that you think. Sure, it is your punishment for your crime. However, an ignition interlock can be your greatest ally when it comes to safely transporting those you love.

If you have been arrested for a DUI in Connecticut and are required to install an ignition interlock device, contact Smart Start of Connecticut today!

Beware, New Yorkers! http://blog.ignitioninterlock.com/2011/09/26/did-you-avoid-installing-an-ignition-interlock-beware-new-yorkers/ http://blog.ignitioninterlock.com/2011/09/26/did-you-avoid-installing-an-ignition-interlock-beware-new-yorkers/#comments Mon, 26 Sep 2011 19:41:35 +0000 beckykate http://blog.ignitioninterlock.com/?p=245 If you have been arrested for a NY DUI, chances are you may be required to install an ignition interlock. Since Leandra’s Law went into effect a year ago, NY DUI laws require DUI offenders to install an ignition interlock.

However, many NY DUI offenders have been able to avoid installing an interlock. They do so by transferring the title of their vehicle to a relative or someone they know. Furthermore, this is often done by the advice of their attorneys.

Currently, lawmakers are attempting to create an addendum to this law to plug this loophole. Soon enough, NY DUI laws will no longer allow DUI offenders to transfer their vehicle’s title. Therefore, if you are caught without installing your required ignition interlock, you could have a hard time getting out of trouble.

If you have been arrested for a DUI in New York and need to install an ignition interlock device, make an appointment with Smart Start of New York today!

In Kinnelon, New Jersey an ordinance was recently scrapped that would allow police to enter private property without warrant if they suspect underage drinking. This raised serious questions about a minor’s right to privacy and no definitive ordinance was set.

However, until New Jersey police have a concrete plan on dealing with underage drinking, what can parents do in the interim?

If you feel as if your teen has a drinking problem, you may want to invest in an ignition interlock.

You may think that ignition interlocks are only for people who have been arrested for a DUI. This is certainly not the case.

Many parents use ignition interlocks on their teens’ vehicles to ensure that their sons and daughters cannot get behind the wheel while intoxicated. Not only does it give parents peace of mind while their children are on the road, it encourages teens to make better decisions when it comes to drinking and peer pressure.
