The Most Common Way to Violate Your Ignition Interlock Device (IID)?





IIDs (ignition Interlock Devices) and DWI go together, well like rice and beans. But knowing the most common way most people violate could save you or loved ones aggravation down the road.

New York has mandatory IIDs since 2010, and this was updated to one year IID in 2012. People that have been sentenced to a New York DWI under ANY VTL 1192 sub section except (DWAI drugs) will have a mandatory condition in place.

VTL (vehicle and traffic law) 1192 is the DWI section of NYS law.


This mandatory condition is called the A2 license restriction by the NYS DMV. It means you can only drive a vehicle with an installed ignition interlock device or IID. This condition is usually ordered for 12 months and you have the option to petition the court for removal after 6 months if you have no issues (failures) with the IID.

This condition never goes away based upon time. Could be there 20 years later.
This condition never goes away based upon circumstance. You don't own a car, you don't have a license, you live in another country.
This condition never goes away based upon finances. You don't have any money, NYS will subsidize your IID.

This video highlights the number one way we see people who violate an IID.
