Ignition Interlock Device
If your license was suspended because of a DWI offense, the court may have required you to install an ignition interlock device on a vehicle that you “principally operate.” This device is attached to your vehicle with a built-in breath testing device and prevents the vehicle from starting if your breath alcohol concentration exceeds a certain predetermined level.
- First DWI offense: Installation of interlock device for the term of license suspension, plus six months to one year after restoration of license;
- Second DWI offense: Installation of interlock device for the term of license suspension, plus one to three years after restoration of license;
- Third or subsequent DWI offense: Installation of interlock device for the term of license suspension, plus one to three years after restoration of license.
If the court sentences you to get an interlock device installed, you will receive a notice from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission with instructions on how to obtain the device.
