Yesterday, Randy Elder, scientific director for systematic reviews at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Community Guide Branch was quoted saying something we’ve been trying to explain to legislators about interlocks:
“They’re not a silver bullet. It does cost money to monitor them and it’s an administrative burden.”
He also explained:
“People tend to revert back to what they did before the interlock was installed. Interlocks work while they’re in the car, but they don’t have any lasting effects.”
We’ve been echoing both of these points for years. Hopefully legislators will start listening.
