What is a BAIID?

A BAIID, or Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device, is an alcohol monitoring device that is installed into a vehicle to prevent someone from starting the engine if they’ve consumed alcohol. The device is usually installed after someone has been convicted of a alcohol related driving offense, but they are also installed voluntarily for those who want it to maintain sobriety and accountability.

The device will not allow the car to start if the driver has any alcohol in their system. So, if you’ve had one too many at the bar, it won’t let you hit the road – saving you from potential trouble and keeping everyone else on the streets safe too.

If the driver fails the BAIID, it is reported to the proper authorities.

What States Use BAIIDs?

While many states simply refer to this device as an ignition interlock device or IID, certain states, including Illinois, specifically term it as BAIID. The naming variation is primarily based on local legal and regulatory nomenclatures. But irrespective of the terminology, the primary function and purpose of the device remain consistent across borders – ensuring driver sobriety and enhancing road safety.
