The alcohol interlock scheme I

These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You should always get individual legal advice for your situation.

New laws came into force in Western Australia on 24 October 2016 about a scheme called “the alcohol interlock scheme”, or “AIS”. This is the first of 2 articles about the alcohol interlock scheme.

The AIS is a scheme where an alcohol testing and locking device is fixed to the ignition of vehicles for people who have committed certain drink driving offences, who, as well as being disqualified from driving for a period, have had their licences cancelled. When they re-apply for their licences, after the period of disqualification is ended, they must agree to take part in the scheme and have an interlock applied to their vehicle in order to be given their licence back.

This first article will discuss what an alcohol interlock is and what it does, what the alcohol interlock scheme is, what it costs, exemptions and what licences it applies to.

The scheme will NOT apply on the IOTs at this stage. But it is important to know about it, in case you or anyone in your family go to live in Western Australia, or it does start applying in the IOTs.

What is an alcohol interlock?

This is a device that measures the blood concentration of alcohol in someone’s blood. It is fitted to a car, truck or motor bike. Unless the driver blows a blood alcohol level of less than 0.02, the vehicle will not start. The device will also randomly require blood alcohol level tests during driving.

The device also records the readings and data is downloaded that is used to report on and monitor the drinking behaviour of the driver.

What is the alcohol interlock scheme (AIS)?

“Alcohol offenders” (people who commit certain offences, or repeat certain offences) have their licences cancelled, as well as being given a period of disqualification from driving. You are an “alcohol offender” if you commit certain offences, or repeat certain offences. The next article will discuss in detail how you can become an “alcohol offender” because the definition includes a number of different types of offences, or repeating certain offences.

The AIS is a scheme whereby alcohol offenders agree to have a condition, called an “I” condition, placed on their motor driver’s licence, in order to be allowed to be given a licence back after their period of disqualification ends. The person is then called an “interlock restricted driver.”

The “I” condition then requires the alcohol offender to have an alcohol interlock device fitted to their vehicle for a certain period of time, and comply with other conditions. The minimum period of having the device fitted is 180 days. The other conditions include the provision by the interlock device of performance data and getting the interlock device serviced, among other things.

It is a criminal offence to tamper with or try to circumvent the interlock device.

The cost of installing, renting, servicing and removing the interlock device is borne by the offender and is estimated at about $1,600 for 6 months. There will be a concession on the rental and servicing costs for certain low income benefit recipients. If you hold certain valid Department of Human Services concession or pensioner cards accredited interlock providers will offer the above concessions.

Exemptions from the scheme may apply if you live more than 150 kms from an accredited provider of an interlock scheme, or you have a medical condition which does not allow you to provide the required amount of breath to be analysed by the alcohol interlock.

What licences can an “I” condition apply to?

The AIS scheme (and therefore an alcohol interlocker device) can apply to extraordinary licences and provisional licences, as well as unrestricted licences. It does not apply to learners’ permits.

The next (second) article will discuss who becomes an “alcohol offender” and will have to agree to take part in the scheme to get their licence back. It will also discuss what happens if you have not agreed to take part in the scheme and drive, or drive contrary to the “I” condition on your licence.

Quote of the Day

If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far,

go together.

Thought for the Day

A penguin walks into a chemist and asks the pharmacist

for Chapstick.

After grabbing the Chapstick, the pharmacist asks the penguin, “How would

you like that?”

The penguin replies,

“Just put it on my bill.”

A guy calls his boss and says "I can't come to work today. The boss asks why and the guy says "It's my eyes." "What's wrong with your eyes?" asks the boss. "I just can't see myself coming to work, so I'm going fishing

instead...."

I told my girlfriend she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed surprised.

"What's the difference between a guitar and a fish?" "You can't tuna fish."
