A Safer Florida Helps Everyone Get Home
Florida is home to more than 20 million people, plus millions of visitors every year. From coastal highways to busy city streets, our roads are packed — and keeping everyone safe is a major priority for local communities, lawmakers, and families alike.
That’s why ignition interlock devices (IIDs) have become an increasingly important part of Florida’s approach to preventing impaired driving. Instead of simply taking away a person’s keys after a DUI, the ignition interlock program offers a better solution:
Give drivers a second chance — while making sure every trip is a safe one.
What Makes Ignition Interlocks So Effective?
An ignition interlock device prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver has been drinking. It’s a straightforward concept that delivers powerful results:
- Immediate prevention: If alcohol is detected, the car won’t start
- Consistent accountability: Rolling retests ensure sober driving throughout the trip
- Data monitoring: Results help confirm ongoing responsible behavior
The result is fewer impaired drivers on the road — and fewer chances for another tragic mistake.
Across the U.S., research from traffic safety organizations has shown that ignition interlocks reduce repeat DUI offenses and help drivers maintain safe habits while staying engaged in work, school, and family life.
Florida’s Expanding Commitment to Safety
Florida lawmakers and safety organizations have steadily strengthened IID requirements over time. Courts may order interlock installation for certain first convictions, and it is mandatory for repeat offenses under state law.
There is also ongoing discussion about requiring interlocks for individuals who refuse a breath test during a DUI stop. That type of legislation reflects a growing statewide commitment:
✅ Keep the roads safe
✅ Allow people to remain employed and mobile
✅ Help prevent a second offense before it happens
The ignition interlock program isn’t designed to punish — it’s designed to change outcomes.
Real People, Real Progress
While statistics matter, the true impact of ignition interlocks can be seen one driver at a time:
- Someone keeps their job after a mistake
- A parent continues to drive their kids to school
- A recovering individual builds new responsible habits
- A community avoids a potential crash that will never appear in the news
No flashing lights. No headlines. Just safe arrivals.
These devices protect everyone on the road — including the drivers who use them.
