Page 7: Introduction
INTRO DU CTION What is an Alcohol Interlock? An alcohol interlock is an in-vehicle breath alcohol testing instrument. It prevents a vehicle from starting if it detects that a driver’s breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is over a preset limit. It is designed to fit inside the vehicle, near the driver’s seat, and connects directly to the vehicle’s ignition system. -

Some other factors that may affect a test (because they may contain or produce residual alcohol in the mouth) are medicines, drops, burping, smoking, using mouthwash or mouth spray. -
