Iowa's Ignition Interlock Devices

Iowa law provides for certain individuals who have had their driver's license revoked for an OWI (i.e., operating while intoxicated or drugged) to be eligible for a temporary restricted license if an ignition interlock device is installed on all vehicles.  An ignition interlock device is designed to prevent an individual from operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.  Connected directly to the electrical system of a motor vehicle, it prevents the vehicle from starting when the alcohol level of the driver's breath is above a preset limit.
