According to a recent article on Perth Now, one in six drink drivers who are forced to install an alcohol interlock device in their vehicles to get behind the wheel, is breaching their restricted licence.
Since the new laws became effective in October last year, 118 interlock restricted licences has been issued.
Figures showed that in the first year, 86 people had breath-testing immobilisers installed in their own vehicles as their own cost of about $1600, but in that period 19 breaches were recorded.
The scheme may soon be introduced in Victoria, with Road Safety Minister Michelle Roberts signaling an interest in an interlock model. Source: https://www.perthnow.com.au
