Things to Know Before Getting Your ACT Interlock

 

What is an alcohol interlock?

An alcohol interlock device typically consists of a breathalyser unit that’s connected to a vehicles ignition system. Its main purpose is to prevent one from driving under the influence of alcohol. The device measures the drivers breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) and locks or immobilises the vehicles engine if the BrAC result is over the legal limit.

Who is required to participate in the ACT interlock program?

An alcohol interlock device is a court-ordered requirement in the ACT for those who have been convicted of a serious drink driving offence, or more than one drink driving offence. The local government will mandate convicted offenders to install the system in their vehicles as part of their penalty or license reinstatement process.

In ACT, how do I install an alcohol interlock in my vehicle?

The first step to having an alcohol interlock device installed in your vehicle is choosing a reliable alcohol interlock service provider in the ACT or boarding New South Wales service center. You’re welcome to contact the team at Affordable Interlocks to enquire about the process, associated costs and other necessary documentation. Once this stage is complete, we'll schedule an appointment to install your ACT alcohol interlock.

What is the cost of the ACT interlock program?

The total cost of the ACT interlock program offered by Affordable Interlocks will depend on various factors, such as the price of the breathalyser we install in your vehicle, the program duration, compliance monitoring and penalties for any non-compliance.
