If the driver blows clean, the car will then start; if not, it won’t budge... Advocates for stricter drunken driving rules cite statistics that show drivers convicted of driving while intoxicated usually have driven drunk 87 times before being caught... There are 46 states that require the devices in some cases. In California, judges have authority to require use of the devices to allow offenders to drive to and from work or alcohol treatment...
