Understanding Ignition Interlock Devices: A Guide by Ely Valentine & Reed
When someone is caught driving under the influence (DUI), they might have to face some consequences. One of these could be installing an ignition interlock device (IID) in their car. That's where we come into the picture - Ely Valentine & Reed is here to provide you with all the important info on IIDs. This device is a bit like a mini-breathalyzer connected to your car's ignition. Before the car starts, you'll need to blow into the IID. If it detects alcohol above a certain level, the car won't start. We know it can be tough to deal with, but don't worry! We've got resources and attorneys who can help.
Dealing with an IID doesn't have to be confusing or scary. We at Ely Valentine & Reed are committed to making this journey easier for you by laying out all the legalities and practicalities. From understanding the laws to handling everyday use of the device, our resources for compliance and team of attorneys are here to assist. And remember, you can always reach us easily for questions or to book an appointment at (432) 755-0990.
The Basics of Your Ignition Interlock Device
If you've recently been mandated by the court to use an ignition interlock device, then getting to know the basics is crucial. An IID is your co-pilot that makes sure you're driving responsibly. Think of it as a commitment to safety - for yourself and others on the road. You might feel a bit overwhelmed at first, but fear not! We're right here to talk you through every beep and buzz of your new car companion.
Not all IIDs are the same, but they do have common features. You'll need to learn how to use it, when to service it, and what the readouts mean. With our user-friendly guides and support system, you'll become an IID expert in no time. Also, it's good to know that in certain cases, our attorneys might be able to negotiate alternatives for you. Sometimes, wearing an alcohol-monitoring bracelet or undergoing random alcohol screenings could be an option instead of installing an IID. But this really depends on your situation, and we're here to advise.
Living with an Ignition Interlock Device
Let's be honest, having an IID in your car can be quite an adjustment. But like learning any new gadget, once you get the hang of it, it'll become second nature. And, if you're worried about what your friends or family might think, we've got some tips for that too!
Firstly, you gotta own it. This device is about making positive changes and keeping everyone safe. Need to explain it to someone?

At Ely Valentine & Reed, we always emphasize the bright side and encourage you to do the same!

Maintaining Your Device for Compliance
Maintaining your IID is key to staying on the right side of the law. That little machine is pretty low maintenance, but you've got to keep it in shipshape.

No sweat, though we've got a checklist and reminders to help you stay on top of everything!
And remember, if you ever run into a problem with your IID, don't try to be a hero by fixing it yourself. Just give us a shout at (432) 755-0990, and we'll guide you through it or get you set up with a service appointment. Compliance is a breeze when you've got Ely Valentine & Reed in your corner!
