They are being used with young drink drivers because: • drink driving deaths are an ongoing problem for young drivers, with half of drivers aged 21 – 25 years killed on our roads, because they were impaired by alcohol • alcohol ignition interlocks are a well established drink driving measure. They provide a practical rehabilitation tool for drink drivers and are currently compulsory in Victoria for drink drivers with multiple offences • extending their use to all young offenders will help deter irresponsible behaviour and repeat drink driving Click here for more information about alcohol interlocks.
